I forgot to mention in the previous post that neither city would go ahead with a ban unless the other did. Evidently, they didn't believe all the talking points from the smoke free alliance.
Well, it's a good thing, too, because what the anti's are spewing are nothing but blatant lies!
Rolled my own when I smoked.
Yep, my view is 'let the market decide'. Especially WRT bars; I know of bars that had business pick up after the smoking ban in SanFrancisco; my wife's friend said she could stand to go out again, OTOH since my band gets paid a percentage of the bar I'm torn, my equipment and lungs age faster but smokers are often heavier drinkers, which is good for the bottom line......
