I can't imagine why the anti-smoking crowd is so eager to get into the smoking establishments. Is it because they are much more fun? Cheaper? If they got their way here in Ohio, the party would be over for them as soon as they take over because they aren't any fun at all! I seldom go into our bar anymore and my other half never smoked a cigarette in his life. All the barmaids smoke and he will just close the place if a ban were put in place, after fighting tooth and nail against these idiots. Perhaps the revenue is 'up' per bar in California because there are fewer bars.

Actually, the anti-smoking crowd are NOT anxious to get into the establishments.  Their agenda is to BAN smoking EVERYWHERE no matter what it takes!

I did a stint as a barmaid for awhile, before I got married, and you right! Just about EVERYONE smoked.  And the ones who didn't, could care less. And in those days, we didn't have the big smoke eaters, either.  The owner would just prop open the door.

The revenue is NOT up in California.  It's all hype to MAKE it sound like revenue is up!

SMOKING BAN IMPACT ON CALIFORNIA RESTAURANTS

And fact being, California smokers are using prohibition tactics to get around the ban:

The anti's have an agenda to ban smoking everywhere and are well funded to do so.

I am so tired of this war on the smoker, I can just puke.
