Smoking ban poll. Please read question before answering. (financial, support, permit)

[AguaDulce]

Now that smokers have been pushed outside by the indoor smoking ban, thus creating a new perceived hazard in shared airspace, AND most affected tavern owners haven't suffered financial losses as a result of banning smoking, could you support a modification to the ban on indoor smoking to allow tavern owners to decide?

At this point, only a small percentage of such businesses would go back.

I am not talking about any other type of business. Only adult businesses, like taverns, bars, etc. And they would have to display proper warning signage on the front door.

No. No poll up yet for me to reply too though.

Each individual can decide if they will allow a smoker on their private property.

They can also decide if they want a Christian, an Asian man, or a transgendered little person on their property.

Indoor smoking could work, but not by simple segregation. If they put an airlock in place between the areas it could work. Having a no-smoking area adjacent to a smoking area is like having a no-peeing area in a pool. Air curtains could work for this as well.

I was having trouble figuring out how to create the poll. It's up now.

Sadly no "I like it just the way it is" option.

The indoor ban is there for a reason, there is no point dredging all of this up any more. And I have no desire to add more to it. This is working.

They tried various ways to segregate smoking v. non-smoking areas within bars/restaurants and they never worked. The current indoor ban works. Why change it??

Outdoor ban should be implemented where food is sold, including at bars that serve food.

Too much big Govt. Let the owners decide. Those that don't smoke, which is most, won't go there.

I'm talking about a bar that is for adults only and permits smoking on the entire premises.

It's hard to come up with a poll that covers everything. Next time I'll spend more time thinking about all of the possible answers. This is new to me.

Thanks for replying!
