I wish someone had thought of this crazy pro choice idea before they banned smoking in all Michigan bars. Non smoking bars would have made a fortune.

I bet. I am originally (born and raised until adulthood) in Las Vegas, where the smoke is thick and acrid almost anywhere (restaurant/club wise) you g, even in the nonsmoking sections. I now live in Utah, where smoking is banned I think 100ft from and public building.

I am a big, big fan of people choosing what they want to do with their lives. I neither smoke nor drink, so I can’t speak to the bar situation, but if someone wants to, that’s their choice. I’m sick of Government intervention in every nook and cranny of our lives. Seriously, a business should be able to ban anyone they feel like banning, and being as exclusive as they want. No special protected classes, none. It’s amazing that we so rarely have it these days, that this is news! I bet this gym makes a fortune, good on them.

One of the more vocal bar owners against the smoking ban in Delaware was the owner of a bar that had gone smoke free on its own. He didn't want to lose the niche market/clientele he had created for himself.

The ones that truly annoy me are the ones who claim their customers would prefer non-smoking, but they would lose too much business if they went non-smoking, so they want everyone to be the same.

Just wait, this gym is going to be targeted as being discriminatory and they will be forced to change the policy.
