I'd never heard this one listed as a right wing/left wing divide kind of an issue, or for that matter a constutional rights and freedom issue. Smoking bans are becoming a fact of life in modern society. No one's rights are being trampled upon, they still have the right to light up in the out of doors and their own private space. The laws reflect the scientific and societal consensus that second hand smoke is an environmentally dangerous substance and is being treated as such. They are a reflection of the choice of the majority of the population.
