Do you support bans on smoking in all enclosed public places?

obviously it should be up to the owners of the establishment in question, and it always should have been.  If there are 8 "da clubs" in an area, 4 smoking, 4 non-smoking, and everybody goes to the smoking ones, THATS NOT THE FAULT OF THE SMOKERS!  It's not their fault they are cooler than you, it's just the way it is.

Australia banned indoor smoking years ago. I thought you guys did too.

All smoking is outside unless you own the place as a private residence.

that's the way it is here too, with a few exceptions (bars in the south and a few "smoke" shops have popped up where weed is legal).  Also, America is a big country, the authorities can't be everywhere, and most people aren't narcs.  There are many places where the owners will let you smoke inside if you aren't blatant about it, I'm especially thinking of medium sized music venues, but I'm sure there are plenty of shady bars in places outside of the south where customers and employees regularly smoke inside.

And for those who mention choice, what about people working in the place?  One of the reasons it was banned is there was some high profile cases of servers and bartenders getting lung cancer without ever smoking due to inhaling second hand smoke.

I'm going to need a cite for that.  There is no way to prove how someone got lung cancer, any court that used that as evidence is a sh**t court.

Smoking was banned because Karens, "wont someone think of the servers" progressives and Christians don't like people enjoying themselves in ways they don't approve of.  Nobody was ever forced to work in a smoke filled bar and there are far  greater dangers in the work place than second hand smoke, even in bars (drunks, heavy things, coworkers, slippery floors, sharp objects), not to mention, ya know, actually dangerous work.
