I am just saying that the perceived danger is a lot less than the actual danger. I guess people could take that as an argument, but it would be like someone saying they were afraid of coming out on moonlit nights because they feared the moon falling on them.
If people really really hate the smell of cigarette smoke, they should just admit that they avoid places where it exists or where they KNOW it will exist no matter what "rules" are in place, because they hate the smell not because of health risks.
I have a perfect example: most of my friends love a local bar. Great people, great atmosphere, kickass bartender. After the first or second time I was there, I did my 15 minute drive home and my car smelled of smoke for a week--simply from seeping from my clothing into the seat. I stopped going there with them because of the incredible amount of smoking that goes on.
My choice--but it was not because of health concerns. I drink heavily and eat way too much junk food so my consumption health risks go far beyond breathing second hand smoke.
