Smokers simply went elsewhere.
No, they still skied during the day (a recreational mindset) and still crowded the bars into the night.
ARE organizations in this country which will take their case and represent them should they decide to fight.
As I stated that costs money and in that business you are running a business from morning til late at night. Schedules are hard to coordinate. However, you are correct; they should fight it and not just talk about it, but will they?
Wouldn't you think the tobacco $$$ industry would be in this fight with them?

Skied Whistler early April, went into a bar after skiing to find it was non-smoking and left. My nephew and his buddies stayed.
Enjoyed my martinis and cigarettes in the privacy of the condo. A personal rights mindset....
Did the bar suffer from my absence? No, but they certainly didn't prosper from the approximately $75 I probably would have spent......
You see, the fact that most nico-nazi's are ignoring is that they profess to be speaking for the entire non-smoking community when in fact, that non-smoking community could care less whether or not I smoke in the bars they frequent. Each and every non-smoking friend or aquaintence I have has absolutely no problem with smokers and thoroughly enjoy the smoking bars we hang out in.......
Sooner or later these self absorbed anal-retentive nico-nazis are going to learn how to relax and have fun. On the other hand, maybe not..........
