The government wants us to smoke because we are revenue to them. The monies collected off cigarettes more than makes up for the so-called healthcare involved. We have a bar. If we allowed only non-smokers in, we would go broke. They don't spend as much money and would find something else to complain about.

Exactly!!!!!

If there was even the smallest iota of truth about being smoke-free being so good for business there would be a proliferation of non-smoking bars and restaruants, but particularly bars all over the place. The fact that there are very few is the proof there is not much call for it.

As a bar owner I am sure if the majority of your regulars starting requesting you go no-smoking you would seriously consider it. It's a business decision.
