I would hope most people would be able to do that for themselves.
If I stumble upon a pile of red-hot coals, I wouldn't need someone from the government to tell me not to stick my hand in them because they're hot.
If someone is afraid they'll get cancer and doesn't want to be exposed to second-hand smoke, then by all means they should stay away from it. I agree with SP, let the market decide not the government. If enough people stay away, I'm pretty sure that guy who risked his life savings to open that restaurant will do what he thinks is best.
