I guess that shows that the amount of smokers patronizing these bars is significant enough to warrant not banning smoking.

I wonder if we can find similar trends with this issue and others like wearing a seat belt/helmet. Some people believe they can legislate everything because they know better than everyone else. For me it essentially comes down to an issue of person freedom. I choose to have more choices for myself, rather than try and tell everyone else what to do.

One cannot argue that by banning smoking in bars, you are increasing freedom.
