That's the fair and just thing to do. Besides how greatly our overall health would increase; think of the amount of smoke that would no longer contribute to the degeneration of the ozone layer. And how much money could potentially be saved by the smoking populace.....or.....how much money could potentially be lost by the loss of one of America's most profitable taxes.

Why couldn't it be plausible to set forth a bill stating all businesses must choose a smoking or non-smoking stance on or before a certain date; whereby the decision must be placed in a visible manner to inform the customer(ie. front entry.) and strictly adhered to upon said date.
Then all employees hired at smoke friendly establishments would also sign a release recognizing they have voluntarily waived their right to smoke free air throughout the duration of their shift(s).
In essence, giving the business owners, the patron's, and the employees of every establishment the choice of whether to be in a smoke free environment or otherwise.....

Because presumably, a new business might open at some point, somewhere in America.
And as all new businesses developed across America, they would also be subjugate to this bill, upon opening to the public.
Because the business owner should have the right to change their minds. (Whether they are changing to smoking or non-smoking.)
Although they(business owners) may feel they should have the right to change their minds, at least proposed bill would play a democratic part in giving them a choice (at all). To punish the whole class(American business owners) because of the folly and disregard of a handful of people(smokers with no regard) seems moderately communist. Actually seems very similar to a few of my grammer school teachers who were too lazy or intimidated to punish only those who should've been.
