I believe that those problems could be overcome very simply by requiring delivery areas that are non smoking, and segregated. It would impose an additional financial burden on the business, hence increased costs for the customer, but if they are committed to their right to smoke, then they should be willing to pay it. Also, as to the issue of employees, the same rules would apply. Those that did not want to work in smoking clubs (after all, it is primarily clubs, restaraunts, pubs, and bars we are speaking of here) would simply not go there. I know, as a performer, that I have refused to play pubs without adequate ventilation. The point isn't that I am protecting smokers rights. Society doesn't seem ready to outlaw this horrible product as it should, preferring to let the market place resolve the problem, as well as peer pressure. If one is not willing to bite the bullet and outlaw this killer, then regulating its harmful effects is in order. Some feel the need to impose their values on smokers. Personally, and as an ex smoker, I don't care what they do TO THEMSELVES. If smokers are not willing to quit, that is their business, providing they don't impose their filthy habit on me. This would provide a way for them to exercise their poor judgement without imposing on the rest of us. If employers couldn't get enough customers, or employees, or performers, they would cease to exist.

I just don't believe in allowing anything that imposes others smoke on me against my will. In the abstract, I don't care if they choose to expose themselves to this poison of their own free will, just keep it away from me.

It is doable,
