For those of us still addicted to something, we are already treated like third class citizens with leprosy that people seem to avoid like we are holding a gun to their head. Being kicked outside can be just as annoying as someone sitting next to you blowing a cigar smoke right at your table. Unfortunately for this, there doesnt seem to be a happy medium for anyone so it all falls on the addicts like we are purposely trying to kill off the entire world.
Smoking bans irritate me, its taking away the right of a business owner to make their own decisions. If they want to cater to smokers then let them and the group of smokers outside the door will go away. If they do not allow smoking then the smokers will just go where it is allowed and everyone would then be happy. Instead we have bans all over the place and bars and nightclubs are shutting down like there is no tomorrow. The few that are left open have more people outside conversing than they do inside. A lot of good the ban did as some business owners have lost their livelihood to a government that thinks its best for them and treats addicts like trash.
Sorry being an addict, at least I gave up the stuff that would most certainly kill me or land me in jail.
Oh, and sorry for the rant, I just think it should be left to the owners and not the government.
