Allowing smoking in private businesses has NOTHING to do with

CHOICE of not visiting establishments that allow smoking.

As Jim Ray's example points out.. some businesses will
voluntarily choose to disallow smoking, for whatever reason
(maybe the owners dont' smoke, maybe they just think it's
better for business, whatever).

The bottom line is, if you don't like smoke, and Business Foo
allows smoking, you don't have to shop / dine / drink / whatever
at Business Foo. Vote with your wallet and go to
the competition that don't allow smoking.

And if there is no competition? Well sorry, but you're not
*entitled* to have a smoke-free bar, or smoke-free restaurant
or whatever available. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
You want one, lobby an existing business to change
over, or start your own, whatever.

Absolutely correct sir, thank you.
