No. People with mental illness can be dangerous.
This guy walked into a business-a business that made it clear before he even entered that smoking wasn't allowed inside. He pulled out a stupid stick and lit it; the only reason he did so was to provoke a confrontation. Then when asked to refrain from puffing on the stupid stick, he pulled out a gun and decided to administer his own sick, twisted judgement against the waitress by shooting her in the head.
There is no doubt that he was a sick, twisted, evil person. That is what is dangerous, not "no smoking statements". To think otherwise is an affront to every decent person who walks into a restaurant and manages to act in a decent, respectful, civilized manner, including not smoking in areas where smoking is not allowed.
