Council members for Peoria and Glendale, which are exploring a possible ban, called the meeting because businesses in cities that have adopted tough bans, such as Tempe, complain that patrons take their business to bordering cities.

And if the smoker can't go to neighboring Cities, they will just stay home and have friends over.

That's for sure! I see it happening more everyday. Maybe only 25-30% of the customers smoke, but you pull 25-30% of the revenue out, and it's going to hurt.

Plus, at bars, most of the patrons smoke. So that would be a BIG loss of revenue. People aren't going to be running outside to smoke, leaving their drink sitting on the bar or table, vulnerable to something being "dropped into it," while they are away, if you know what I mean.
