Get over it, and quit the whining.
There are a lot more people who are delighted by this law. That's just a simple fact. And well they should be for many, many reasons, which have been cited again and again in this discussion. That is another simple fact.
No freedoms or rights have been taken away here. But the freedom and right for everyone to breathe wholesome air has been both protected and expanded. That's a winner for "the people" in Michigan, from whom all government authority derives.

THE EXPANSION OF GOVERNMENT
"A constitution of government, once changed from freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever."
John Adams, July 7th, 1775
You can bet the house that after April 30th, your right to smoke in a bar, or even a PRIVATE CLUB, will be gone forever! There are a lot of people who are pissed at this bill, as well they should be. But where were these people Granholm twice vetoed the helmet-choice bill? "I don't care, it doesn't effect me" is the answer I heard most. Well I don't smoke and this bill pisses me off. If you allow the government to take away one right then they can, and will, take away another. Think of all the things that you USED TO be allowed to do. Wasn't life better then? With the exception of the repeal of prohibition, can you think of any example of the govenrment giving back your right to do something?
How long until total Socialism?!! Probably sooner than you think!!!
