Default Question for those who oppose this

Do you have any problem with a complete smoking ban on public property?

Yes, because I do not think most public property is legitimate.

You're aware that the majority of Coloradoans support the ban?

Explain to me what the hell that has to do with anything? If you succeed in doing so I will concede.

States like Colorado that have a big influx of east and west coaster "know it alls" (read New Yorkers and Californians) are much more susceptible to this kind of legislation.

But it isn't just the people who've moved here from California, etc, who support the ban - most of the state does. That's why it's being passed; it's becoming politically infeasible to vote against it. People here are tired of a minority infringing on their right to breathe freely.

For the 100th time, the majority does not rule. The bottom line is that the "majority" is dictating to all what legal activities personal property owners may allow on their property. If you like this trend, then I don't see what there is to argue about.

-I like being able to choose how I LEGALLY run my business. (smoking is a legal activity and a private business owner should be able to decide what he/she does or does not allow-you don't have to patronize the business nor do you have to work there)
-You, on the other hand, like being told how to run things.

No one wins or loses the argument, we simply have a difference of opinion.
