Let's not debate if a smoking ban should be implemented or not. I'm more interested in hearing peoples' thoughts on if there truly is an economic impact and if so, how much? Or is the guy that's gunning for mayor just trying to gain popularity with smokers?
I've always just heard that the bans in CA/NY have not had an adverse effect but I haven't seen any real data.
My thought is the legislature should work on a statewide ban, then the bars wouldn't have the argument that they lose patrons to other counties, then let's see.
