Garrett:

Your points below are so illogical it is almost funny.  Allow me to
address them.

That's illogical:  Smoking isn't illegal.

That's logical and true.

That's illogical.  This isn't a zero-sum game.  We can and do have
proper regulation of businesses.  I think people should be able to
offer things that are generally considered legal (such as smoking) in
their own businesses.

That's illogical:  Illegal dumping and known contaminants are two
separate issues.  One happens on ones own private property, the other
in a public thoroughfare.
It is also illogical because, of course, businesses don't have a right
to subject people to noxious substances.  That would imply people had
no choice but to subject themselves to those substances.  They do.
They have a choice of where to work and what to patronize.
