further support ban on smoking in bars and music venues

I would like to know if anything is being done in regards to smoking in public places. Specifically, in bars and music venues in Florida.  We are allergic to smoke (2 - 3 day headaches) and sometimes nosebleeds and my fiancee is asthmatic.  This makes it hard for him to breathe and limits where we can go. It would be nice to be albe to enjoy a band or DJ's in a club without getting sick. It's a big problem and I know a  lot of people that just don't go out around it anymore. This makes it hard on the performers (attendance numbers) and not fair for hard working people that want to go have a good time once in a while.  The smokers have more rights!  Is anyone concerned about this? Is the funding for the smoke-free movement going to go away with a President (elect) who recently smoked? We need to keep the pressure on because smoking causes millions of dollars a year in healthcare costs and illnesses. Not too mention the personal cost to the families of nicotine addicts. Some folks will have no gas or food - but they got cigarettes. This happens more than you know expecially in lower income families. But that's for another day. ~ For now - I just want to be able to breathe clearly in bars or music venues.
