Do you really think that not smoking will keep people from going out? What has happened in NYC? Has there been a drop in business? Has anyone here seen some stats?

It certainly will, not because we can't go without a smoke, but we are tired of politicians mandating life styles, we have had a 100% smoking ban for about two years, 60 bars and resraurants have closed, only 13 new has opened, almost all bingo halls have closed.

I sympathize with your sensitivity, but there must be non-smoking places in your area.............. or don't they look like as much fun as the evil smoking places.

...or don't they look like as much fun as the evil smoking places.

And nobody can figure out why.

Thanks for bringing some sense into this discussion.
