all the smokers have moved away.... NOT.

Not all, but perhaps all of the 100,000 (which wouldn't be enough to produce a "housing bust") and almost certainly a significant percentage of them.

hahaha, 100k people haven't moved out of NYC because of the smoking ban. People don't MOVE in great numbers because they can't smoke in restraunts.

People move to NYC because of the economic hub that it is... people don't sell and move in large numbers over something as trivial as smoking in restraunts and bars.

You show me one study at all that remotely shows the population of NYC has declined by 100k because of the smoking ban.. with about 8,000,000 people 100k represent about 1.25% of the population of the city! And that's not remotely true that over 1% of the population of the city have moved away over smoking.
