and i know of at least one bar that i used to frequent that nearly went under right after the smoke ban passed and is now just squeaking by. They are applying for VLT license to hopefully increase business.

is it that low, i just assumed it was higher. Fair enough then, guess this really wont effect the businesses at all then.
for the record i'm not a smoker I just think the government controlling people and telling businesses what they can and can't do is absurd. If having smokes in a pharmacy really upset people that much then people would not shop there. Owners would be forced to change their ways and customers would return.
