I'm all for it. Smoking isn't about personal rights, it's about causing harm to others. It's banned in bars because the employees could sue the WCB for work related medical problems. Easier to legislate it out, than to deal with lawsuits.

When its children, they don't have the option of driving themselves, or walking, or whatnot. If you're over 16, it's up to you. Kids under that age need to be protected from their tarbar fiend drivers.

Finally society has recognized that smoking is problematic for far more people than just the smoker. It's an addiction, and that deserves some recognition, but it's the public at large that is the real victim of smoking.
