polls like this are silly, at best. this question goes deeper than this poll can show. a buisness owner , such as an bar owner should be able to allow smoking if he chooses. if a customer chooses not to go in to a smoking allowed establishment, that is his or her right. if people choose not to trade with a smoking establishment, that bar will not stay open. a law that would force a bar to post a sign, stating that they are a smoking alowed bar, would do the trick. that bar owner should also indecate on all applications for employment that he allows smoking. that would allow the applicant to choose to work there or not. many bars are choosing, allready, to not alow smoking. this is great. i do not smoke.thanks
