This is a bogus study in itself to lend credence to another bogus study.

Much like the first bogus study, the second bogus study doesn’t even pass the laugh test.

If smokers can’t smoke in bars, they won’t drive 10 miles away and spend $4 per beer...they will stay home and buy a 30 pack of Miller Lite for $20 and spend 65 cents per beer at a buddies house, play pool, watch TV and smoke as much as they want with their friends.....then they will stumble upstairs and pass out instead of driving.

So smoking bans actually prevent DWI.

Where is my government grant check for producing this brilliant research????

That’s what happens when the Commie-Crats are allowed to perpetrate their Utopian Mao-isms in our “free” country. Voting for these morons is dangerous to liberty. I hope they choke on butts in hell!

The only thing to do is close all the bars. End of problem.

So long as there are at least two human beings within proximity of each other, it'll never be over. This leads to an interesting observation: There is an inverse relationship between freedom and population.
