I think that it should be up to the owner of the business. I mean, I hear alot of non-smokers rant about how smoky bars are, but when we go out at night, we don't go to the least smoky bar in town. If it was that big a deal, wouldn't people open smoke-free bars on their own, to take advantage of the non-smoking crowd? Seems like just another example of the government getting over-involved in our lives.
