I'm not claiming that Non-smoking if popular, I'm just saying that its self leveling for the restaurants. as the Smokers decide its not worth going to dinner because they can't light up afterwards, the Non-smokers are now showing up more because they can now enjoy a smoke free meal. so to me it seems that its not having a negative effect on the businesses as everyone is claiming. If it is I 'd like to see some #'s that substantiate that claim.
I think what put this wild hair across my a$$ is before the bans I can remember asking people if they would mind not smoking while we ate and I got the "Go "F" Yourself" look and they lit up anyways. That kind of attitude is pretty much what started this whole thing anyways.
And in all honesty when I go out to a bar I expect to smell like a cigarrette, thats a given, but when you go out w/ your family for a nice meal do you really need to deal w/ it. Is it going to kill somebody to go an hour w/ out lighting up.
