[QUOTE="Lil, post: 649363, member: 17309"] Okay...total digression from the topic of getting fit: Here laws against smoking in public buildings are by city ordinance. I both agree...and disagree. I personally prefer - and always have preferred - eating in a restaurant with no smoking. I admit, I'll probably miss cigarettes when I gamble...the closest casino allows smoking and there's something about sitting at the blackjack table with a drink and a cigarette...three vices at one! :p I didn't particularly care one way or another about smoking in a bar. But, since our favorite bar also has amazing food, I like it better with no smoking. But the thing is, that bar (the Irish pub we sometimes talk about) went non-smoking a year or two before the city ordinance. The owner built a nice deck, covered it, installed outdoor heaters and made his bar non-smoking. You can smoke on the deck, drink there, eat there if you choose, year-round. After years of owning a bar, he felt he was having health issues, though he didn't smoke, from the constant exposure. But that bar owner was the biggest opponent to the law there was when it came out. You see, he knew that his business might take a hit from smokers who didn't like it...and he was in a financial position to take the risk. But he felt, as I feel, that it should be the business owners' choice on what (perfectly legal) activities they choose to allow in their businesses. :soapbox: Since I'm now a quitter...that's the last I'll comment on it.
