I'm saying there must be a market for non-smoking bars as there is smoking ones. Why some smart person hasn't opened a chain of non-smoking bars is beyond me. I suspect there isn't enough regular business from that crowd to support many non-smoking drinking establishments. I believe the market is supposed to work these things out, not the government.
Also, when I go to an establishment, I don't want to be treated, by law, like less of a person that those who don't smoke.

I don't believe that laws banning smoking in privately owned establishments should even be permitted.

"I'm saying there must be a market for non-smoking bars"

Aw c'mon. "Equal, but separate?"

That's the argument (flawed at best) that Lib's use whenever they don't want individuals, who have rights they object to, want to interfere for "the greater good".

It's not that they don't want to be exposed to the smokers; it's that they want to SHOW THEIR SUPERIOR INTELLECT AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.

Asking that they go where they want is not the issue; destroying the rights of others to fit their agenda IS the issue.

Nobody is opening a chain of non-smoking bars for the simple reason the no-smoke Nazis have made that unnecessary. Now if you could open a chain of smoking bars you'd be rich. But alas the Nazi's would never allow it, unless of course it was state owned like the cigarette tax.
