The above qoute is comparing apples to oranges. if i didnt drink and went into a bar where people were drinking, it wouldn't effect me because the beer isnt in the air........ And besides this law is only for resteraunts.

Please reexamine my reply. I'm not for smoking around you. I want the right to be with people who want to, you have the right to do the same (non-smoking). Why can't I open a restaurant in Cranston called "Smokey's" ? Would you go in there? Why would you want to?
As far as your "Apples and Oranges" allusion:
The argument against smoking in privately owned establishments is based on the equivocal data published in several studies. That data suggests a link between second hand smoke and increased rates of serious disease in non-smokers exposed over a long term. I merely sought to point out that tobacco smoke is not the only harmful chemical that is legally present at said establishments, and arguably not the most lethal.
