Outdoor bans in public places are not ridiculous. As a non-smoker I am prohibited from combusting any material I want in public places ... therefore smokers are given ‘special rights’ that I do not have.
I do not agree with smoking bans in private places or private businesses. That is of no concern to government.

It is true you can make the case for banning smoking to prevent people from burning down the park.
