Yeah, I'm pretty torn on the issue. I know around here places needed a kick in the ass to do something, no business was willing to be the first place that went non-smoking. I'm all for allowing a business to declare itself a smoking establishment. I think a lot of owners were just looking for someone else to blame as to why you couldn't light up.
