Legit reason and fair tradeoff, IMO. Now we can still enjoy our favorite bars without smelling like smoke, and the smokers can still smoke at said bar..just outside. Everyone wins

Sorry but I don't like alcohol. Not only does tt cause ~88,000 deaths a year but it leads to fights and injuries and people acting like jackasses. Since this inconveniences me I say it's high time to ban private establishments from selling alcohol. For the common good and all.

But but but second hand smoke.

It's a great analogy, but will fall on deaf ears with the pro smoking ban crowd.

I'll throw loud music into the mix as well. Loud music causes ear drum trauma, therefore I want a decibel meter at every bar to make sure it's not too loud. I can't stand when I voluntarily go into a bar that has loud music and I can't hear myself talk.

You do realize that smoking causes like 400,000+ deaths per year? Just a tad higher than the ~88,000 caused by alcohol. Also, there are many dry counties all over the country that ban alcohol (many in conservative Bible Belt states); yet people don't rant at the horrible injustice but just choose to drive to the next county to purchase alcohol.

The amount of stupid in this thread is just baffling.
