On the positive side, nobody I know has died or ended up in a hospital as a result of second hand smoke.


I think I said this last time smoking came up, but I'll say it again. Smoking is banned in bars here because of the employees have no choice. You or I can chose not to go into a business, and only spend a few hours doing in our lungs if we so chose. The waitress spends 40 hours a week in that smoky environement. Their lungs will be harmed by the presistent smoke.
