One of my good friends dips snuff. It's ... messy. Lots of spittle involved -- he has a spit cup that he carries around for when he spits out the tobacco (because you can't ingest it). At least he doesn't spit it on the ground like most.
That may be some of the rationale behind the ban -- it's really not much more sanitary than smoking. :/
By the way -- smoking is illegal in almost all businesses in my local area. It's rather nice to go to karaoke bars and bowling alleys and not have to smell like cigarettes. Of course, exceptions granted for tobacco shops, hookah bars, et cetera.
And I don't give a damn what people do at home, so that the line where property rights trumps public health (because it isn't in public anymore, now, is it?).
