No you made yourself sufficiently clear. You are clearly seeing it from one perspective without seeing from another. As a non-smoker myself I go to bars and restaurants more now that they are smoke free, and many places here, where there is a total ban on smoking in enclosed public spaces, are doing better financially because people who, like myself, are non-smokers and who are in the majority enjoy being able to breathe as they eat and socialise.

You advocate the free market in support of your position to allow smoking in public places, but decry it when people choose not to support the original, pioneering smoke free establishments. You can't have it both ways.

And are you sure it was these non-smoking establishments that managed to get the laws changed to ban smoking, or is it possibly the majority (the non-smokers) getting what they actually want? It's a little something you may have heard of called democracy. grinning smileysmileys with beer
