Shel asked:


Should government be able to tell individual business owners to ban smoking?
My family owns a tavern. We believe that people are well aware of the health risk in volved when entering a smoking establishment. 90% of our business comes from smokers and we would rather have them in our establishment so we do not have to close the doors. If you do not want to be in the smoke dont come in is our take on the ban. As a business paying a lot of tax and liscensing fees we should be able to say we permit smoking in our establishment–if you are worried about the health effects you should probably not enter.

Sending our patrons outside to smoke opens us up to other exposures. Falls in the parking lot, slipping on ice….. those kind of things.
