I wonder about those who wanted a smoking ban so that they could go to a smoke-free bar.
Considering there are 82% of us who are non-smoking and only 18% who are it would seem we are already indicating that we would prefer businesses that are smoke-free. However, this logical conclusion has been trumped--until now--by tobacco industry propoganda that smoking establishments must continue to cater to only 18% of the population to make a profit. A great many of the 82% still drink even if they don't smoke and they love music. Sounds like these places would do more business instead of less.
I know there are many places I would go as part of the 82% that I now avoid because I can't stand the smoke in the air.
