Assuming that marijuana was legalized, should all the different types of smoking bans, i.e, smoking inside in bars or restaurants or cars, or outside in parks or patios, be amended to allow marijuana smoking and not tobacco smoking?

No. Second hand smoke is second hand smoke regardless if one makes you paranoid, giggly and crave Funions.

No. And for the same reason--second hand smoke. Which, in this case, is even more of a reason. Anyone who has ever been in an enclosed area where pot is being smoked knows about getting a contact high.

I personally think that it should be up to the bar owner as to whether he allows smoking or not. Sign: "We allow smoking. Enter at your own risk!"

Second-hand smoking laws shouldn't need to change. But there should be an amendment to allow for cafe's and marijuana-specific establishments where smoking inside would be legal.

It should probably be consistent, ie. "2nd hand smoke is 2nd hand smoke" but anyone who knows the research/science, knows that tobacco smoke is 1000x more dangerous than pot smoke.

Why is that? I thought all second hand smoke was dangerous. Smoke from fireplaces, camping fires, burning leaves, cooking smoke. Smoke from any vegetable matter.

It's not just CO, it's the thiocyanate, nicotine and associated byproducts as well.
