Just a reminder of the sources of the bans, the RWJ Foundation, owned by big pharma, and the coalitions, more concerned with "social change" than the bans themselves:

And what the 99 million dollars was going to. Note on page seven the "inside -out", provision going for patios later, AFTER business owners spend thousands of dollars to build them to accommodate their smoking customers, clearly showing that the tobacco control activists have ABSOLUTLY NO CONCERN about local issues or businesses.
They will only allow a ban with exemptions at first to find gullible lawmakers to get a foot in the door. The last pages instruct them to keep returning every year until ALL exemptions are gone.

I must say, this post takes a bit of a different tone than other smoking-related articles I see on this blog. It's nice to know that both sides of the issue are being considered.
