Yes it can be challenged. However when it has been challenged in other places it was struck down.

If the trial is already underway (as in a jury has already been selected), the judge would likely deny your request, unless you had a reasonable objection to the way he was conducting your defense. Otherwise, he would likely approve it. Not doing so would open up a fairly large hole for appeals.

To paraphrase a Supreme Court justice, the right to wave your fist around stops at the end of the other man's nose.  Cigarette smoke is a known carcinogen, so measures to protect the general public from it are entirely appropriate.

You should contact your local health department. I do believe that in most states, the health department is charged with enforcement of non-smoking laws. \n\nBe sure to carry a small tape recorder with you after you complain. You can expect that there will be illegal retaliation against you.

How does THC get into the system of a person who is smoking?  Through inhalation, correct?  So wouldn't it make sense that it would enter your system the same way?  My recommendation would be that if you can smell it, you're at risk.  \nOn another note:  There is a law in Ohio called vicarious liability.  That means that if you are in the direct vicinity (like a car or a picnic table) of an illegal substance, then you are just as guilty of possession as everyone else.

Not unconstitutional in any way.\n\n/is a smoker.

Smoke free patios are the next wave, although the smokers will claim their rights are being violated (what else is new?)  I would like to enjoy the outdoor patios during the summer, but with the smokers flocking to them and puffing away on their dirty, smelly habit, it makes them an unattractive location to enjoy a meal or some drinks.\n\nAmazes me how smokers don't get it.  Smell your closets on a nice rainy day.  Will you ever understand that blowing your smoke in public places is inconsiderate and subjects others to your unpleasant odor (and rudeness).\n\nSuccessful lawsuits against smokers and establishments are just a matter of time.

They have to have a place for smokers that does not block an exit or interfer with non-smokers.  Check the state labor laws.

A business banning smoking has nothing to do with a law. Some states have made laws outlawing smoking in businesses across the board, but otherwise, The business has a right to set its own standards on its property.  Now, laws banning smoking in government (federal and state) buildings are another matter.

Afraid not. If you travel south to Ohio it is decriminalized to an extent. But state and more importantly federal law prohibits growing a controlled substance.

Your case could be from a State supreme court.

No. Consumers are the ones that buy the product. Tobacco companies do not force anyone to smoke. If you want to say something about second hand smoke, I live in a state where smoking in public is banned. Anyways, it's the person smoking who is at fault.

Had the same problem at our place.  It's also discrimination to tell someone they can't do something that is NOT illegal.  It is against their rights also.\n\nSo we have smoking areas far away from other people.  If you don't like smoke, don't go there.

It depends on the reason.  A city is considered part of the state so unless there is a state law allowing it, or a federal law passed by Congrees expressily waiving the states/cities immunity they can't be sued.  What issue are you trying to raise?  That would allow us to define an answer.  Also if this is in regards to an order of the court, that order must be appealed on the grounds you are arguing about.  ie due process in deciding the case, you can't sue, you can only appeal the courts decison and argue that due process was not applied.  The appeals court can then decide to agree with you and order a new trial, issue a new order, amend the existing order or disagree with you and keep the original order in place.

No. Instead can provide some area of them as smoking prohibited and those who wish to move that area can go.

No, they have no right under the constitution, but that does not matter.  Governments do what they want and there is not much you can do about it unless everyone is willing to fight it together.  That will never happen since there are more non smokers than there are smokers
