Reply #91: That's because you think the bar "is for smokers" and they think

it's a bar for people.

The primary business of bars is not giving people a place to smoke - it's serving alcohol.

A porn business, on the other hand, exists to sell porn.

You've made an interesting distinction - you're suggesting a bar might be for a particular type of person, rather than a particular type of business.

That's somewhat more discriminatory than the smoking ban, which doesn't prohibit any type of person, but prohibits activities which are non essential to the businesses in question.

Personally, if I wanted to run a smoking bar, I'd look into the legality of creating a smoking club that serves alcohol, with a nominal membership fee. I don't know if that would pass muster legally, but I'd try it.
