"The pool of available customers did NOT decrease."

From the article:

-385 league bowlers quit when the smoking ban went into effect

-our business has dropped in the lounge from $1,000 a day to $80. "

-"From September to February, we lost close to $80,000 in sales"

-Sales dropped 50%.

-"We've lost 70 members because of the ban"

-90 percent of her customers were smokers.

-"I can count on my fingers the people who don't smoke who come in here. The regulars say they won't come."

Looks to me like the available market decreased.

Totally unsubstantiated bs. I have already debunked some of their 'data' in a previous post.
