No non-smoking law discriminates against smokERS, it's a restriction on the
ACTION OF SMOKING.  Smokers are no less welcome in restaurants because of who
they are, it's for what they are DOING in an inappropriate context.

Let me give you an analogy...  let's say I belong to some little-known
religious cult, and part of its doctrine includes the burning of a type
of incense at meals.  Smoke from this incense is carcinogenic and is (to
your nose EXTREMELY foul-smelling).  Would you support my "right" to 
burn my incense directly upwind from you while you attempt to eat?
