Current legislation that requires designated sections for smokers and nonsmokers on the premises of privately owned businesses is an intrusion into the private sector that cannot be justified  The fact that studies indicate that nonsmokers might be harmed by inhaling the smoke from others' cigarettes is not the main issue
Rather, the main issue concerns the government' s violation of the right of private businesses to determine their own policies and rules
Government intrusion into the policies and rules of private businesses is justified only when individuals might be harmed.
