Hey Man,
Many people here are not understanding our great state and the fuqin laws we have, unlike you, I don't support the law that passed because I don't believe that the gubment should be able to tell who to do what (which is what they are doing), however I do respect that you don't like the smell and all that goes with it (I am not a smoker, but I do throw darts and come home smelling like something that is about to happen after I have been in a bar for 6 hours).
Anyway, first and foremost, all four sets of lips would been bigger had they been talking like that in front of my family, hit the biggest fukker first and ask who's next.
As far as suing, you are not going to get a good lawyer if you goto "Dewey Cheatem and Howe" for a free consultation, lawyers worth their weight don't do it that way.
So much of the law here in Ohio is in flux that your case would take YEARS beyond years to ever get heard because the law would need to go in effect and all the other appeals would have to settle in before you could get heard and then, if the law gets repealed in the mean time, things could end up just fading away.
I can assure you the courts are done with people suing like this. A couple years ago, somebody hit my wife head on in a turning lane (get this, he dropped a lit smoke in his lap and he was trying to find it), we got the lawyer because the insurance company was stimping us (after 60 days, they had still not claimed responsibility) and in the long run, the entire situation ended up costing us $1600 (because some guy wasn't paying attention). I chalked that up to, at least there were no lingering health effects on my wife and kids.
I know it *****, consider it a learning experience, but with a lawyer and then consider time involved in actually going through the suit, I think you would see it as a waste of time.
Now on the other hand, if you want to get a sh!tstorm started, you could call the local news stations with the story prepared (hospital bills, etc.) and rat them out for not enforcing their policies and accuse them of profiling.
