I'm sorry, but I don't find this to be so rational.  How far to you
allow this logic to go?  Do you allow a restaurant owner to refuse
service to people because of their race?  Because of their religion? 
Because of their gender?  Business owners cannot be allowed totally
free reign.  Restrictive laws that offer protection to the general
population are often in order.  I think that smoking is one of those
cases.
