Well I can't walk down a public sidewalk nude without being hauled off to jail. Why is that? What is the public harm being done?

Meanwhile smokers can walk down a public sidewalk smoking.

"Harm" is not the issue. The issue is community standards, what are they and who gets to set them. That is what we're talking about here.

No, what we are talking about are PRIVATE property rights, where I, as the business owner should be able to decide what I want to allow for MY customers, since I am the one that has to meet the payroll and pay the bills.
