I agree. What if the guy wants to smoke in the bar he owns? Tell him, sorry, we don’t care that you own the business, your personal choice that is legal everywhere else is now illegal in your own place of business…yeah.
If non-smoking bars were a good idea, there would be more. If you don’t want to smell like smoke, tell your friends you don’t want to meet at the cheap, dirty bar with the drink specials, go pay your money and go to a place that charges more for drinks and has a good ventilation system. Hit up the bar at Atria’s, you can sit next to a guy and barely smell him smoking.
