We have the same thing going on in the Columbus area. The ban passed last year, and now all the suburbs are having their own little votes set up. I am a non-smoker who really hates to breathe in cigarette smoke, but I still plan to vote against the ban. I think this has less to do with clean air than it does to keep regulating what people should be able to figure out for themselves.

Maine forced a complete ban as well, last year.  It's not fairing too well.  At least, the smaller bars and restaurants aren't fairing too well, let's put it that way.

If a business owner wants smoke free, that should be left up to him and his patrons.  And not nanny government.  Nanny government didn't put blood, sweat and tears into a business.  Yet, they are allowed to go in and dictate how the owner is to run it?   Totally disgusting.
