My personal opinion, smoking is very unattractive.

No, the question is more "why do you expect restaurants to be smoke free?"

I don't see why it's any more legal than marijuana. It's just as harmful if not more and there is no benefits to it. And if you want to say that there are economic benefits than you would seem to be a proponent of legalizing marijuana.

So I can go to a PUBLIC place without jeapordizing my health. Nonsmoking sections aren't really nonsmoking. Don't I have the right to go to a public restaurant and enjoy it just as much as smokers do?

Different topic. Arguments such as this are fine as long as that doesn't distract from the tobacco argument.

Why isn't tobacco illegal then?

Yeah, yeah. I thought I remembered seeing something about OSHA not being able to classify as anything nearly as bad as you encounter more regularly.
