If the city can come into YOUR private business and tell you that you can't allow smoking then next is the transfat (like in NY) and after that they will be told the can't sell a Whopper w/ cheese because it's too many calories etc....People should take their personal feelings about smoking out of the situation and look at the situation for what it really is about...gov't intervention in private business.
Personally I would like to ban smoking in public or at least 50 feet from an entrance but I would RATHER leave that up to the BUSINESS owner to make that call NOT the city commissioners.
