Also, I get that second hand smoke is bad and all of that, but if it is that bad for you then do not go. The problem is with the work staff - but there again, get another job

I see your point, but i kind of don't agree. Also, I like the going outside thing. everyone pops outside, there's people to chat with...
Also, I like that then, more non smoking and smoking people will be in the same bars..
But also i think smoke is so dangerous, especially the level it gets to when people are drinking, that it's kind of like having tear gas/no tear gas bars to have smoking/non smoking bars. It is a bit of PC thuggery, but, just because smoking is one of 2 very dangerous legal drugs. (the other being alcohol). I mean, we don't have crack/no crack bars, or heroin/no heroin bars.
Hopefully someone will be able to discern my point - I just woke up...
oops, and sorry about the threadjack.
