"However, there should be a place where a smoker can go to have a beer, a pizza, a burger, and watch the Wolves game. One of the best ideas I have heard for this is to establish a "smoking license." Sounds a lot like licensing opium dens to me. Licensing establishments that enable unhealthy, addictive behavior is not good social policy. A smoking ban in public places ought to be part of a wider effort to help people stop smoking. The tobacco settlement money should be used to fund programs that help people kick their habits. Perhaps this is already being done to some extent. But I'm not aware of any of that money being used, for example, to fund nicotine patches or other effective treatments for tobacco addiction.
