Firstly, I am a nonsmoker. When I go into a bar or restaurant, I move away from the smokers. I find that they respect my preference, and many move their ashtrays away from me. It would be easy for a nonsmoker to support the smoking ban but for me, it isn't.

We must remember that we live in America - the land of opportunity and the land of free choice. It is plain un-American for the government at any level to make our decisions for us.
