I’m a non-smoker and my thoughts are:

«» Smokers are getting the shaft
«» This is one more law in a country with too many
«» Smoking is a terrible habit that will shorten your life and reduce your quality of life
«» Second hand smoke for is not a good thing
«» People should be able to do what they want as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else.

To me it seems like other things could be done besides a ban. Maybe smoking areas (bars, restaurant, etc..) could have better ventilation to remove second hand smoke (I know, probably would have to be another law). Perhaps people could respect each other a little more. Smokers could refrain from blowing smoke in the face of non-smokers and diehard non-smokers could lighten up a little bit and not have a fit when they slightly smell cigarette smoke. .
