State wide smoking ban

This is a discussion on State wide smoking ban within the Tobacco Legislation forums, part of the The Cigar Lounges at Puff category; JoeyBear, I think your comments are right on the mark. I suspect that most people who support a comprehensive smoking ...

JoeyBear, I think your comments are right on the mark.

I suspect that most people who support a comprehensive smoking ban don't actually go to bars - they just like the IDEA of outlawing smoking because they don't like smoke. One of the young guys I work with expressed his support for the smoking ban because he wanted to go to a bar for their bar food, but his wife refuses to go because she doesn't like the smoke. Well, something tells me that once the ban is in effect, his wife will probably find another reason why they shouldn't go to the bar. And in a few months, that bar (which has been in business for over 50 years) will probably go out of business or lose the kitchen anyway due to the drop off in business.

Oooooh, the smoke nazis are having a field day in Iowa. They will really be surprised when the casinos pack up and go elsewhere.

haha when the casinos see a big drop in people playing because they eather dont come or are outside smoking and not feedin the machines im bettin they will have something to say about it, and if they can get it changed for them maybe the guys who dont have the cash to fight it can sneak in with there ruleing, i dont hit the bars like i usta but i remember it was a drink in one hand and a smoke in the other

Speaking of casinos: at least one casino in Niagara Falls, Canada has TWO casinos, one smoking, one nonsmoking.
