I was recently in Tennessee and upon entering a sports bar and grill noticed a sign on the door that read NO ONE UNDER 21 ALLOWED DUE TO SMOKING LAW.
Later that evening as I was enjoying the game, a drink and a smoke I asked the owner(whom I'd met earlier)what exactly did the sign mean.
He replied to me that under Tenn law any establishment serving food could not allow smoking unless all patrons were 21 or over and when the law passed he opted to not allow 20 and under in because he got more business from the over 21 crowd wanting to watch sports,drink and smoke and that those people who normally stayed entire days on Sundays would spend more on food as well.
Personally,I like the idea of letting the business decide then in turn the customer base can decide.
