Terry - in an ideal world, there would be establishments for non-smokers and others for smokers - just a shame that in our democracy they can't come to some sort of compremise!
Answers:
It's absolutely absurd, they are putting these small businesses out, it should be the owners decision on whether or not they want smoking allowed on their premises or not, this country is slowly losing it's freedom. First, it's a BAR, people that go to bars know there are going to be smokers, second, the people who contribute to the laws are conservative pricks who probably don't even go to bars and they are like blah blah blah, let's just sit here on our fat @sses and control what these people do in their establishments and don't think in the long run that they are losing taxes from all the money that they tax on alcohol which comes out in the long run, so my opinion, they are pretty dumb. I will get too deep into this if I don't shut up.
