If you think, for one minute, that after all these years of having places like restaurants and bars accomodate smokers, and for all of that to stop, we will not take our money back to these places.
It's one thing not to be able to smoke at work. But on our leisure time, and on our dime, we absolutely refuse to spend our money at a place that does not want us. Period.

Absolutely correct. Here in Palm Springs I stopped going to any restaurant and bar when Ca. law went into effect , no smoking at all.
I used to eat lunch & dinner out every day. I'm used to eating at home now and find I don't miss going out as I used to do.
I'm only one person of course but my not eating out has to have had at least a small effect on the restaurants profits and the servers tip , as I'm a generous person in the tip dep't.
Sadly , many people see this as Gov't protecting the health of it's citizens. Not so , It's about higher taxes and more control over people. Now we hear about higher taxes on fast food servers because they cause obesety. Next , it will be the liquor industry . Alcoholism is a major heath problem and drunk drivers kill innocent people.
Socialism is not on it's way , it's here. Non-smokers enjoy your new National Socialistic Big Brother on the left of the aisle.
