One factor I seldom see mentioned is that nothing in any law prevents a bar or resturant from being entirely non-smoking if the management desires this. Since this is not uncommon in most parts of the nation it then becomes up to the customer to decide which extablishment he or she will patronize.

Clearly, if the public is demanding this accomodation business will provide it.

Clearly, if the public is demanding this accomodation business will provide it.

Exactly.

If you prefer your favorite establishment to be smoke free speak with the owner or management instead of running to the government to force every establishment, including one you would never set foot in to cater to only some wishes.

And the same holds for the employees, who they claim to be protecting.

Unfortuately in many places the opposite is not true - requests for smoker friendly are now forbidden.
