"This is the way smoking bans are supposed to work, no government intervention on private property."

I agree, but it works both ways.

The Applebee's exec is a hypocrite and incongruent.

"Mike Scanlon, Thomas and King's chairman and chief executive officer and vice-mayor of Lexington, was a vocal supporter of the city's indoor smoking ban that went into effect April 27."

"Scanlon said. ''However, as a businessman, I need to listen to my customers and do what I believe is right for my business."

Why can't other businessmen do what they believe is right for their business by allowing smoking on their private property business, Mr. Scanlon?

I noticed that too and it is why he isn't getting full kudos from me. Hypocrit is absolutely right on!
