Okay, but second-hand smoke is bad for non-smokers and who really cares "how much" bad it is. If the majority of people in a particular place (maybe by referundum or whatever) want smoking banned, then so be it and aren't you supposed to be, like, "government shouldn't interfere" and stuff? Or does the libertarian thing apply to what each individual wants to do, but not to what the majority of people want to do? Would it be okay if the no-smoking thing was enforced by non-government people? Private business? Vigilantism?
