That’s true and I agree that hosts have the right to ban smoking anything and everything but I expect people to argue about it.
Eventually we may have to deal with claims that banning smoking offends someone’s religious beliefs as well.
There’s a Cherokee story, “How Hummingbird Brought Tobacco to the People” that goes like this:
”When I was a boy the elders used to say this:
Long ago, when this earth was very new and the birds and four-legs could speak the same as People, there was a very old woman who was only able to stay alive by smoking tobacco.
But there was only one tobacco plant in all the world and it grew on an island in the middle of a wide and deep river, and it was guarded by savage monsters….”
To summarize, various people and animals tried to steal the tobacco and were unsuccessful until the tiny hummingbird volunteered to try.
Everyone thought that was ridiculous but Hummingbird flew across the river, darted in, and stole a few seeds out from under the noses of the guards.
The woman’s life was saved and the sacred tobacco grown from those seeds has been used for religious and medicinal purposes ever since.
I still don’t allow smoking in my house. There’s no reason people can’t do it outside if they need to.
