You want me to come sit in the seat behind you in that restaurant and fart throughout your meal? Thats how non-smokers feel when you're puffing away. Is simple consideration that difficult? Smoking is a disgusting and deadly habit and, believe it or not, some people would rather breathe OXYGEN. Why should people be subjected to coughing fits and watering eyes just because you choose to vaporize your lungs?
Take it outside, where it belongs.
That's why there are segregated areas for smokers.
I seriously think you're all blowing it all out of proportion. Especially ABF, who seems to think an hour's worth of scant exposure to cigarette smoke in a restaurant can give you coalminer's lung. Hell, you go to a restaurant, you're eating fat foods, you're doing just as much damage to yourself.
I don't like smoke myself, as I've stated before, but it's really not something that irritates me bad enough to want a law telling other people not to do it. Especially in private business establishments. It should be the manager's decision ONLY as to whether to allow smoking. Having government edict is totally unneccessary.
