I'm sure there are.

However, I was referring to the Anti-Smoking Nazi's who wrote all the Op/Ed pieces, called all radio talk shows, populated all the message boards on how disgusting it was, and how happy they'd be once they could dine smoke free.

Well, they got their wish...now where are they?

They did a great job "talking the talk", but aren't "walking the walk".

Dining? I thought we were talking about drinking? Bars closing up is the subject here.

You are correct.

What galls me about these antis is that they are trying to blame the smokers with the claim if we were so concerned about the establishment's bottom line we would never have stopped patronizing them - while at the same time not ever patronizing them either.

It's totally a control thing and a backdoor way to prohibition, not only for tobacco, but for alcohol.

Think about it - these smoking bans include EVERY work place, not just bars and restaurants. However it is only establishments that hold liquor licenses that face the possibility of losing their license to do business for violations of the smoking bans. The coffee shop or accountant's office across the street from the bar that violate the ban have no such threat over their heads.
