I realized a while ago that a by-product of the smoking ban is that bars are going to be providing heat outdoors for smokers using heat lamps or whatever works. Personally, I think this is a bad idea. It will provide small comfort to the smokers, of course, but heating the outdoors in the winter in Minnesota is a silly idea at best, but I know from talking to bar owners near me that they are already making plans to do just that.

I'm just curious if anyone else has given this any thought and what could be done to lessen the impact of this.
