One counter point is the effect non-smoking Bingo Halls have on the Not-For-Profits that depend on the revenue for Programs and Services. I work for a smaller charity in Edmonton that is having a very hard time keeping the doors open due to Bingo revenue being down 30% - 60%.
Im not sure if that is why Council decided to give them another year to adjust or not but it makes sense to me. I doubt most Charities had planned to have the No Smoking Bill pass Jan 07.
