It should be up to biz owners to decide who they wish to cater to.

i agree, and i'm not even a smoker anymore. i can see if the law stated that places that had a smoking section, had to be 100% smoking and couldn't claim to have "non-smoking" sections. but to say that all businesses, whether they like it or not, have to be 100% non-smoking was taking it a bit too far. i understand that it was a pretty bum deal for non-smoking waiters and waitresses to have to deal with tons of second hand smoke day in and day out if they were in the smoking sections, but if a business owner wants his establishment to be 100% smoke-allowed, he should be able to. if someone applies there, they would know this right off the bat and would probably be a smoker themselves.
anyways.. getting off topic here.
but just wanted to support your statement.
i used to smoke roughly two packs per day, but i quit years ago. when i did smoke, though, i never smoked around those who were bothered by it. if i felt the need to light up while i was with them, i would excuse myself and either go outside or if we were already outside, go to a different area. it's a filthy habit to have, and a non-smoker shouldn't have to deal with it when they've made the decision to avoid it.
i don't see anything wrong with what you did.
