It is only disruptive if we have nazis like you and Harry are there.
As you pointed out, it is not necessarily illegal to smoke in a bar in
Florida anyway. It all depends on what kind of license they have.
If it is a restaurant that serves liquor it is illegal. If it is a bar
that serves food (AKA a cocktail lounge with a class A license) it is
up to the county.
By a like token, if it is a tobacco store with a liquor license (a
cigar bar) it is legal too.

Oh, I'm a Nazi. Thanks for clarifying! So, it's not necessarily
illegal, but you don't like ANY restrictions on YOUR rights, and to
hell with anyone else.

I support everyone's rights.

So, define MY rights to not be around a carcinogenic cloud. How do I
avoid one in a restaurant. I'm seated. Some guy waltz' in from the
smoking section, and puffs away. I'm supposed to do what? Wait for the
bouncer? Leave myself?

Yes leave, please.
If enough people did that the owner would ban smoking or he would have
a smoking restaurant and you and Harry would never come in.

Nobody is holding a gun to your head and making you come in.

I guess you didn't read the part where it's a split restaurant and I'm
already seated in the non-smoking section. Read it again.

So, basically you're willing to infringe on my rights, and in fact I
wouldn't even be able to finish my meal. Do I get a refund on the
food? Sounds to me like your cigar is the most important thing in your
life and to hell with anyone else's rights or health.

Hey, it's the loonytarian, er, libertarian, way.
