Actually, I don't ever think there was a message that non-smokers did not frequent bars & restaurants because of smoking. the ban was to non-smokers that work in those places, and to protect non-smoking customers from being exposed to smoker's air.
That being said, and the fact that I have fully supported the smoking ban in a restaurant, if the facts are true that banning smoking is causing restaurants to lose that much (30% - 50%) of their business, then I support repealing the ban in favor of very stringent rules for separating the smoking section from a non-smoking section - e.g. completely enclosed smoking areas, different ventilation systems, etc. Of course, that does not protect the non-smoking workers. I don't know what to do about them. - Matt Small ----- Original Message ----- From: "Angel Stewart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 04, 2003 10:54 AM Subject: RE: Where are the non-smokers? > Well... > > It does say something about Non Smokers. > > If you ban smoking...and you lose 20% to 50% of your sales... > > Then that means you have lost smoking customers. > > It also means that those smoking customers whom you have lost, have > *not* been replaced with non-smoking customers. > > Part of the reasoning for the ban was that there were thousands of > non-smokers that do not frequent bars and restaurants because of the > smoke,ergo if there was no smoking these people would patronise these > institutions. > > -Gel > > -----Original Message----- > From: William Wheatley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > That doesn't say anything about non smokers it simply says the smokers > are going where they can still pollute the air thats all. > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Your ad could be here.
