55. My brother is a non-smoker who works in a bar
And he was angry when smoking was outlawed in bars in his state because he felt it wasn't anyone's business to do so and worried that they'd lose business.

I honestly feel that it's ridiculous to ban something that's legal to do - if you're going to ban it, ban it outright (though I doubt that would be effective either - I'm no fan of prohibition). And I'm a non-smoker too.

Why not have business owners decide if they want to run a smoke-friendly or smoke-free establishment? I guess that would be too easy. :eyes:
