You realize New Orleans was one of the only major cities to not already have the ban, dont you? So where are these tourist going to go? Monroe?


You realize people come to New Orleans to drink and party and that a lot of those people smoke. New Orleans is not like other major cities.

If 80% of the population are non-smokers, then wouldn't it stand to reason this would make New Orlea s more attractive? Louisiana (and the South) has a higher % of smokers tha m other parts of the country. Most people in the US these days do prefer to avoid places with smoke, even when they are going to "drink and party".

The economic impact of this is negligible to positive I'd bet, but again, thats not the point.
