"The costs might be lower but as another poster pointed out the customers will drop off. That is why a state wide ban is needed so all restaurants are smoke free. That way the smokers will still eat at the same restaurants."

I can't believe I just read that! Should we "level the playing field" in all of the other aspects too? Should we ensure that they all serve from a government approved menu? Should we ensure that they all have the same decor? Should we begin to liscence them so they all have the same activities allowed?

Should we send a list of restaurants that each citizen will eat in and what days and for which meals?

Why don't we just eliminate the free market all together? Oh, yea, that would be communist.....

You and Stealy Glint should raft pool about 90 miles south of Florida!

I'm describing to you what the market DID and is doing. The big chains apparently found its more profitable to go nonsmoking so long as the smoker has no other choices but to eat nonsmoking. This part of the market is using the the anti's group and the employee health group to force the bans.

Like it or not, the market is working, its just not working the way you want it to.
