There was research done in Birmingham after they put a smoking ban in place. Everywhere that had the smoking ban actually benefitted from it. Sales went up. Initially, Birmingham was not in favor of the ban but once they saw the outcome, they were ecstatic. Smokers always say that it is their right to smoke and anyone that doesn't like it can go else where. That works both ways, if the smokers do not like the smoke free environment, they can also go elsewhere or stay at home.
The question is though, who are you to push your values onto the rest of the populace? Is there a problem with letting the free market sort it out or are you just bound and determined to push your beliefs on me?
