Sorry David, you must be under the mistaken impression that you have any control over the business and property that you own.

people should have the right to spraypaint the table in front of them and inhale the fumes if the establishment allows it

No. Boston passed this legislation and it is awesome. I used to smoke, but it's so nice to go out to see a band or spend an evening hanging out in a bar and not come home absolutely reeking. Except now when I go home to North Carolina, I can barely stand it. I never could smell it in restaurants until I moved.
Also, the past couple of dudes I've tried to get with that I met in bars were smokers, and it's excellent way to excuse yourself from the group and have a private conversation. |

No the bans at bars and restaurants are good. I love going into bars and not having cigarette smoke fill the place up. If you really want to smoke badly, step outside, no need to bring that shit inside.

The city only permits a certain number of restaurants to stay open past a certain time, hence there are only like 2 diners in Boston. I do think it'd make sense to do the same with smoking.

IT does make sense to do the same with smoking. Banning smoking from bars and restaurants only improves them.

If it improved them... for the people who OWN that property.. don't you think they would have done it on their own? To improve their businesses? The businesses that they, you know, own?

Whether or not you want to go to a bar that allows smoking, it doesn't mean the government should have the right to tell those privately owned businesses what to do
If more people wanted to avoid smoking, why not patronize a bar that does agree with that philosophy and doesn't allow it in their establishment? |

If a bar bans smoking, while other bars around them have not, it's going to hurt that one bars business. If all bars ban smoking, it's not going to hurt business at all. It improves overall bar experience because than you don't have to leave reeking of that cigarette smell, or be drinking in a place that smells terrible and is smoked up. Plus it's healthier overall. If you really need to smoke, step outside of the bar and smoke, no need to bring your annoying habit inside to others. |

I wouldn't say the majority want it. But it's such an easy ban to do that does no harm in the end, only helps others out who go to the bars and don't feel like dealing with cigarette smoke. There is no logical reason to not ban smoking in bars.

there has been a ban throughout the UK. it's great! i smoked for a few years and its so good to have this ban - many smokers dont notice what theyve done to themselves until they quit!
with the ban now in place the UK will save millions in hospital funds and cancer will (slowly) go down nearly 40%... if that is not the best reason for a ban i dont know what is second hand smoke gives cancer and or kills people too you know--??? |

what would you guys have thought in the 1970's when the indoor clean air act was enabled and smoking was banned in most workplaces? is that different than this to you? you choose to work certain jobs. if you don't want to be around smoke, should you have to work outdoors?

No because I don't want to have to limit myself to certain bars because you have an addiction you can't handle. I shouldn't have to compensate for your weaknesses. How about I go to whatever bar I want to without having to deal with cigarette smoke/smell, and you go to the same bars, but when you feel you oh so must smoke, step outside for a few minutes.
