I was in Helena, MT many years ago just after they’d passed a similar no smoking law. I walked into an old downtown bar, and everyone there was smoking. I asked the bartender about that, and he said that the mayor and city council were welcome to come in, but they hadn’t ever before, and he didn’t expect they ever would. It turned out that the police chief said he would rather solve crimes than go around finding people sneaking a smoke.
Casper is miserable to get around, never mind having a few drinks and try to navigate that mess! I’m sorry to say..if your bar closes, find a new state and begin a new business. It’s beautiful there, but it’s too cold, and too windy on top of everything else.
You can do better business elsewhere, I promise!! I have family there, and have enjoyed my visits there, but then, I visited in the country. It was a horrible chore trying to get through town, and the accidents I’ve seen there were unbelievable! I mean, cars turning out of an intersection hitting head on to parked cars waiting for the lights to turn! I watched the cars who hit the other cars, KEEP ACCELERATING and push the cars they hit, down the block as though they were totally unaware that anything at all even happened!
I’ve seen motorcyclists totally run down and run over like they were never even there! I’ve seen cars run 50 in the town stated 30mph, and slam into cars back ends, and keep on going!
But the nuts in charge of the asylum are worried that somebody might smoke a cigarette???? Holy Cow!
It’s beautiful country chalk full of loonie toons.
We have a bar here where I live in California that still allows smoking. Its nickname has always been Menopause Manor since it is right down the street from a retirement building and a lot of them smoke. The bartender and everyone else just kind of shrugs their shoulders.
