That is a very nasty, ugly motive. It's what I've always know about ban-proponents. At least you admit it, but it is disgusting. Take away from everyone so you can have it all your way. I "selfishly" want a place I can smoke, but don't advocate requring businesses to allow smoking just to cater to my tastes. Let the market work out where smoking is and isn't allowed, and no-one's rights are infringed, and everyone can find their own comfortable places.
