I don't understand the point of the license. Aren't the bar/restaurant/ect owners perfectly capable of deciding on and implementing a smoking or non-smoking policy without the assistance of a licensing program? I don't care how small the costs are, why should commercial property owners have to spend time and money in order to allow smoking on their property?
I'm fine with smoking bans in government buildings, though. Or rather, I'm fine with whatever the voters decide.
