    I guess the difference is you have a right to smoke, the 6 people sitting next to you have 6 rights not to. Maybe that was the consideration at the time?

      Then just ban it in public spaces and let businesses have private smoking areas if they want to. That’s what was done here in India and it seems to have worked out okay in my state at least.
