The state, not the smokers, took the business away. The smokers are just living by the rules the state has set up.

No. The smokers left; probably because without smoking they realized just how bad the food was at these places ....

"No. The smokers left;"

No, the smokers were driven away by the state. Are all citizens obligated to ensure that all businesses started are economically viable? Or is it up to the market to determine naturally? The state has unfairly weakened the businesses that were once strong and are now weak and dead!

By your logic, we can blame non smokers for not allowing the businesses to make more revenue than they were already making. The non smokers caused them to lose profits before the ban. We should have been able to force non smokers into these places before the ban.

You really are a mental midget, which is typical of an anti freedom fighter!

No the smokers left because they no longer felt welcome.

These places are closing because the antis who promised a huge increase in business with smoking bans LIED.
