What a disingenuous argument, sir. The number of smoke free bars and restaurants has been steadily proliferating
without government intervention.
Or perhaps you're one of those Freepers that pisses and moans about Big Government only when your causes are affected. If you don't see the connection between private property rights and free association, you're on the wrong forum, buddy.
Here's a link to common sense.
I've been watching the trends in Pocatello. The large sit down restaurants are going smoke free. It has increased their patronage. The small bars and small restaurant/bar combinations are offering limited non-smoking sections. Denny's is the only sitdown restaurant in town that positively reeks of tobacco. It is also the only 24-hour sit down restaurant in a 40 mile radius. When the bars close at 2 AM, the seats in Denny's fill to the max with the smoking patrons from the bars. Jack-in-the-Box keeps a drive-through open 24 hours.
