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.

Royce, you are SO right! All the restaurants in Maine were forced to go smoke free two years ago. We have not set foot in one since. We have three restaurants/bars up here that we patronize. They get our money and our tips. I absolutely refuse to spend our hard earned money in a place that cannot accomodate us. Pity that they couldn't stand up for us. But it's their loss, I say.

Look at this cartoon I just found. It says it all about our Big Government putting a red X on our foreheads:

They want our money but they want to KILL us. Well, they can't have both, can they?!
