I don';t hear anyone complaining about pipe smokers or cigar smokers. All I hear is cigarette smokers. In fact most tax increases have only been levied on cigarettes.
Let's say that Delaware bans smoking in bars and restaraunts. Next let's say that in response to "outrage" due to declines in business, smoking permits are now sold much like liquor licenses. In some areas a liquor license sells for a few hundred grand! Why then won't those same merchants purchase a smoking license? It will become a middle ground in which government is still all mighty, the small business pays more tax revenues, the public still smokes, and there are establishments that are "smoke dry" who opt to not purchase a smoking and liquor license.
