I often wonder, when considering the effect of a (the) smoking ban
on the bar businesses, only the NEGATIVE impact is considered. The
story is always about the (hypothetical) ghastly huge terrible
impact on those businesses from smokers who will no longer patronize
those establishments. What about the NONsmokers who will now be more
inclined to patronize those establishments now that they won't have
to cope with cigarette smoke?
I remember that I really liked the food at PT's Pubs, but I was
dissuaded from going there to eat because I knew that I would have
to inhale shit-clouds to get to and from the eating area, and that
the smoke inevitably would drift into the eating areas. I also might
have gone there and enjoyed a beer while watching the football game--
if not for the inevitability of someone next to me lighting up a
stink-stick.
TIME AND TIME again, actual practice has shown that banning smoking
in a given establishment, whether it's a casino, bar, restaurant, or
brothel, INCREASES that establishment'
business is one traditionally associated with smoking, such as---a
casino, bar, or restaurant.
