Where?? If there's no smoking ban where are you going to go and have a smoke free meal? before they started doing this, everywhere you went people smoked.

My view is that me not smoking isn't going to spoil your meal but you smoking is going to spoil mine.


and my point was its not a private business if your serving the public. If you want to have a private smoking club thats fine, but if I want a burger at TGIFridays I shouldn't have to deal w/ the stench.

and as far as affecting business, Mass has had one for a while and i can go into a restaurant/bar on a friday/saturday night and I'm still waiting and hour for a table and the places are still packed. There may be less smokers but then again there are probably more Non-Smokers in the place now because they can sit and enjoy a meal now.
