Government should not ban smoking in private businesses
The editorial argues that local governments should not decide smoking in private restaurants or shops. It says state law allows only public building bans, not private business rules, and markets should decide policies. Businesses can choose to separate or prohibit smoking based on customer preference. Government overreach is cautioned as inevitable if unchecked.
