They ticket the bar that is "allowing" smoking. This proves its all about money, the bar has a fixed address and a liquor license and is more likely to pay the mordida. Meanwhile, it's the people allegedly being "protected", the bar employees, left holding onto the clintony end of the law enforcement stick.

That's good, Eric. You seem to know what your talking about. And yes, it's all about the money. I just wonder how long they think the money will hold out? It's getting mighty thin.

Oh, I don't doubt it's about the busybodyism too. Some people think their own personal opinions should be codified into law and strictly enforced. This is an example.

Drunks are fun enough to deal with late at night without having to tell them they can't smoke (or can't take their drink outside while they step outside to smoke).
