There are more places that you can't smoke than places you can. The main reason bars are fun is because most people in bars are fun. Most people in bars smoke. Most smokers are easy going and open (unless you try to take away one of the last places they can smoke and socialize). Take smokers out of bars and you may as well take the alcohol out too. If smoke bothers you go to a non-smoking bar and hang around with the one dull person who'll be there. Ever notice that ice cream parlors are not that happening?

The anti-smokers want to be able to go to 'fun' places without having to inhale smoke. Unfortunately, they fail to grasp that making places non-smoking often chases away the people that made the places 'fun' in the first place.

I must correct you about your comment that making places non-smoking "often" chases folks away. Forcing places to go non-smoking GUARANTEES chasing the fun folks away.

The anti-smokers SWORE that business in bars and restaurants would increase in Delaware as soon as the smoking ban went into effect because all the non-smokers would be out and about.

It hasn't happened.

The idiots think that a building is inherently fun..
