They polled 600 folks, don't say if they were likely voters or even registered voters... Or even if they were of voting age.
Smokers just don't want to accept that society has shifted.. for a very long time smoking was the social norm and those who did not smoke had to endure the fallout from those who did... now society has shifted and smoking is no longer the norm and they will have to accept and edure that.
I've lived in places that have banned smoking and places that don't... and I can tell you first hand, bars and restraunts are no less busy in areas that have the ban vs those that don't.
I never cease to be amazed at how smokers consider this ban an infringement on their rights. Nobody is saying they can't smoke and I would never support such a thing. They just can't do it where it would affect others.
I have also noticed that there seems to be just as much business in no smoking states as in smoking states. I didn't take my kids bowling for years until we could find a non-smoking bowling alley - and it was a very busy place. Here in most restaurants in Ohio there is a wait for the non-smoking section and immediate seating in smoking with empty seats. Many times I see non-smokers sit in the smoking section only because they don't want to wait. Smart businesses have gone no smoking. Cuts cleaning bills and maintenance also - and increases sales.
