I don’t smoke but I voted against the ban.
A very reasonable compromise could have been reached- allow bars to apply for a license that would allow them to permit smoking inside. But no, the authors of the legislation took smoking as close to being illegal as they could.
So this thread provides a great example of the law of unintended consequences. If you hadn’t forced everyone outside, you wouldn’t have to walk through the smoke.
Good job, nanny staters.
