Smokers pay lots and lots of taxes for their habit. Who do you think will start paying all the lost revenue if everyone were to quit? YOU non-smokers are!!!!!!
Most public places already don't allow smoking anyway. Restaurants that do have smoking usually have it in a very small section these days, usually by the bar. The biggest change that everyone will see is in the bars and clubs. If I'm gonna kill my liver boozing it, I should be allowed to kill my lungs too!
Places like texas and california can get away with laws like this because the weather is nice enough to have outdoor patios for the smokers all year round.
All you non-smokers keep on bitching, but you better shut your mouths when the governements steps up to the next level of control (that will affect you) or raises taxes to cope with lost cigarrette revenue...
