As a libertarian, I have no problem if someone wants to commit slow suicide by smoking. HOWEVER, my tolerance stops when they want me to go along for the ride. There should be no smoking within 25 feet of any establishment selling food, whether inside or outside. There are two ways to make this happen. One, by contacting the owners of the CC's and other restaurants that currently allow smoking on the patios, and two, getting a measure before the Florida legislature to ban smoking in or around restaurants. And for the record, I'm an ex smoker who came to his senses.
