Sounds like Molly Quinn's might be on its way out. Read the Longfellow-Messenger for what happened to that bar since the smoking ban, they seem to directly attribute it to the ban. Might make sense if you can drive straight over the bridge to O'Garas and light up. I know that's just one...But why dont you name another bar, besides the Cardinal, that used to allow smoking and since the ban has added workers and seen profits/business go up. Your example is the Cardinal which also has an LRT stop at its front door. Not all bars have that, so maybe thats the wrong business to use as an example of the positive effect of the smoking ban. Maybe there are a lot. But I'd be interested in seeing both sides, the businesses that have been hit hard, and those who have done well or better with the ban.

I am confused about this- If I am not mistaken business like the Cardinal Bar, had to move their smoking outside, but their business has way increased and they have added jobs..esprecially with the LRT traffic- REMINDERS: 1.
