The genie is now out of the bottle and is not going back in. More and more states are now banning smoking in areas where the public has open access. We are not going back to the old way of doing things as much as the smokers choose to whine and pout.
This means that if you are a smoker you must light up in environments where non-smokers will not be affected by your smoke. This should be a common courtesy but since smokers have never been known for their consideration of others, it is now the law.
The genie is definitely out of the bottle, the government can now dictate what a business owner can or cannot do with his property regardless of the free choice of his patrons and employees to be there.
Smoking is a perfectly legal act, in fact, the government relies on tobacco taxes for funding.
