I didn't realize non-smoking space had become such serious business in Raleigh.

If you're a business person and open a bar on the premise of being smoke free. You can finally get the demographic that either 1)Limits going to bars because smoke or 2)Never goes to bars due to smoke.

and see, even though I hate cigarette smoke, it's not the governments place to tell businesses how to operate. If you want a smoke free bar, get some capital together and open one.

pretty much...i'm about as anti-smoking as you can get, but i NEVER bitch and moan about non-public places that smokers tend to hang out (bars, pool halls, bowling alleys, etc.)

i, personally, am more likely to patronize establishments that are 1.) smoke-free, 2.) have nice outdoor seating that least allows for the smoke to go somewhere other than into my lungs, or 3.) have non-shitty ventilation systems that do a passable job of eliminating the smoke (high ceilings help)

I would not support a law banning smoking in bars. Bad for business and, while I am not a smoker, I realize their options of places to go are probably getting smaller and smaller. However, I'm all for places that are voluntarily non-smoking or at least keep it limited somehow. There are definitely some bars that I would visit were it not for how overpoweringly smoky they are.

i would support the law, but only because i feel that my health is more important than those who have chosen to be addicted to poison...yes, i guess it boils down to "i feel i'm more important than their rights," but that's not quite the point

i wouldn't go out and campaign for it, though

^^^ Yeah, a lot of the time places wouldn't be nearly as bad if they had some decent ventilation going on. Throw a couple of these in the joint.

if you have an ionic breeze its even more important to have good ventilation haha...otherwise the air will smell better but you'll just be breathing in more toxins than before
