A kick in the nuts due to new law....

I've read all these comments on these news site "I hate smelling like a bar when I get home". Well....how about not going to a bar if you don't want to smell like one! It is what it is! Go to McDonalds eat inside, you'll likely smell like french fries when you come out. I think bars, and businesses not serving food should not have been affected.

Exactly how I stand on it. I don't think smoking should be okay in restaurants unless you are sitting outside on a porch/patio and there are no kids around. A bar, is a place where people get drunk and wild anyways, so why not smoke? You don't bring your damn kids to a bar. If you don't want to be around smoke, don't go to a bar. And to impose these laws on businesses that rely on tobacco sale and allowing their customers to stay and smoke/drink/hang out is ridiculous and detrimental to tons of B&Ms.
