As far as accidents go, most customers of coffee shops are taking trains, walking, or at worst, bicycling. You find a very global clientel at coffee shops, people of all classes and races, a VERY PEACEFUL atmosphere, great people watching to say the least!

Donnie D -

I'm with you - we should make tobacco illegal. It is obviously much more dangerous and addictive - and causing many more deaths than many other "dangerous" substances.

Why should everyone else pay the medical bills for all the people who choose to kill themselves with tobacco? Make it illegal - and remove health benefits from people who suffer ill health due to it.

This will make everyone's air much cleaner - plus save us all a lot of tax money - that could be put into something useful - like education.

FYI, coffee houses also sell "space cakes" for those wishing a smoke free relaxing experience ;-) (like brownies)

>>If tobacco is so harmfull to the innocent bystanders, make it illegal. If not, let freedom ring. <<

Even if it wasn't harmful to your health, it's harmful to your smell. Don't smokers know they stink? You can smell them from far away, you know when they've been in an elevator coming back from their dozens of smoking breaks right outside the doors that I have no choice but to go through!

As far as Marijuana, I don't know and really care if it's harmful to me, but again, it smells like sour milk mixed in with a batch of wet dirty smelly socks! To have the smell on me is harmful to my sense of smell!

I live in Switzerland and many people have taken to smoking joints out in the open and in the smoking compartments on the trains. Marijuana smoke stinks twice as much as cigarette smoke. I find it very offensive.
