I see your point here. What a mess. Did the owner have signs informing patrons that they would be kicked out of his establishment if they lit up? Or was it something that was just understood?

The signs forbidding smoking are posted everywhere and are required by the law.

I have even more horror stories about the tactics being used to enforce this smoking ban that the business owners didn't want to begin with. It's horrible.

The businesses that wanted no-smoking had already done that on their own. there was no need to force the rest to do the same.
