I don't hold nannies responsible for this kind of crap anymore. I hold the smokers who continue to spend money at nonsmoking establishments after the bans responsible. If they ban it in your area, don't solicit the businesses. A 25% drop in business will end a smoking ban in any area.

Well, Maine forced a total smoking ban a few years ago, and lots of us do not go into restaurants or bars anymore.  And a lot of businesses have closed.  And that doesn't make the anti's reconsider.  They could care less if a business can't make it or not.  The won just by getting the ban through.

And that doesn't make the anti's reconsider.

It's because the bars didn't lose all of the smokers. They lost a percentage of them, to be sure. But not all of them. And those individuals who just resign themselves to stepping outside cause things like this to spread.
