And something SheLion and I, and others, have been talking about for YEARS.
Unfortunatley there is a large contigent here on FR that choose to believe the propaganda that is spewed by the paid professional anti-smokers, as opposed to information provided by establishments hurt by the bans.
I've heard all the nonsense that any place going out of business after a smoking ban was just using that as an excuse because they were going under anyway. That hardly works for an establishment that was in business for 50 years. Or another that had been in business for 25 years.
Although I personally had no real problem going into an establishment and not being able to smoke, I see your point ... where does it end?
I have to admit, I don't like, as a smoker, being the pariah of the moment. With my luck, I'd quit smoking, gain weight and suddenly fat people would become the hated and hunted.
Who are you going to believe, Rush or vigilante anti-smokers who created the bogus studies that second hand smoke causes cancer (and other horrendous diseases)?
