Like Baka said it really is a slippery slope and just one of those things that isn't going to have any clear cut agreement on it. But as for the topic, California of all places having these laws is something I don't get.
Such is the functioning of a free market........little demand = little supply. Here in backward Wichita, Kansas, you can find plenty of non-smoking establishments, be they bars/nightclubs or restaraunts. We have smoking bans in government buildings, hospitals, etc......but not private establishments.

No one is forced to go out to restaraunts or bars, nor do I believe it is an infringement on anybodies rights, at least I don't recall having a right to eat out and drink wherever I want and require the proprietor to make the setting suitable for me.

I'm not tryin to be an ass, just participating in the discussion.
