I believe in that in principal, but in practice, I'm not sure where you draw the line. What about people who want to pay not to be around gays, blacks, or women? When do the rights of the minority need to be protected from the voice of the majority? hmm… I believe in that in principal, but in practice, I’m not sure where you draw the line.

But private businesses and private land? That should be up to the owners of the property, yes that includes the NASCAR race. If the business wants to exclude the persons who do not wish to be around smokers then they should be able to allow that activity. If the business decides that it is in their best interest to not allow smoking, then that should be their option as well.

Since second hand smoke is worse for you than first hand I guess we all should just light up ourselves for health reasons. Bars I can go either way on.

Because people go to bars for their health. So of course we should ban smoking in all bars instead of leaving it up to the bar to decide if they're going to be a smoking bar or a non-smoking bar. Certainly, second hand smoke is the silent killer. You never notice when you're inhaling second hand smoke... Yeah, second hand smoking laws totally make sense.
