You obviously don't know bartenders, barowners or wait staff on a personal enough basis where they would feel free to express their total disagreement with you.
OTOH, the bar owners and staff in most places I know in Maryland are absolutely thrilled with the smoking ban in Delaware..........the owners and staff in Pennsylvania and New Jersey feel the same way about the bans in both Delaware and New York.
The owners and staff of of the places I go here in Virginia have seen a major increase in their business since the Delaware ban went into effect....people that used to vacation in Delaware are now coming down here. And they are just not Delawareans, they are New Yorkers, in fact most of them are from NY....at least the ones I've met.
I was born and raised in Brooklyn and left when I was 22....nearly 22 years later, I must say, I've never looked back.
I can't tell you how many times I pass by a bar or restaurant and see the staff outside smoking! And the alleged "point" to this law was to protect them from second-hand smoke. Ridiculous.
