If you own a bar will you let the tyrants tell you how to run your bar and lose revenue without compensation?

Question

If the smoking bans hurt your buisness and your income you should expect compensation from the taxpayers that voted for the bans. Keep good records of sales before the ban and after the ban because tobacco IS a legal drug and needed by many to cope with the non-smokers.

Answer 1

This whole smoking thing is crazy. What right have the government got to tell people where they can and can't smoke? Smoking and non smoking areas, proper ventilation, problem solved.

They are stealing your freedom, wake up.

Answer 2

I dont think my hard earned cash should go to your facility that allowed smoking. I dont smoke. Why should i give some money to a bar that i will never visit nor does it benefit society at all. sorry pal you can be biased by calling the gov't tyrants all you want to get supporters your way. But its time to wake up and realize you had a good run and now its over. All smoking should be banned and the tobacco companies that made trillions should invent an indefinite way to quit. Its possible but theres no money in the cure

Answer 3

I hear what you are saying but good luck in getting a response from the politicians. Keep your records as you are proposing but realize your pleas will fall on deaf ears. Keep in mind that democray is tyranny by the masses.

Answer 4

...but if you're like the bar owners in NYC, you'd find that the ban did NOT affect sales.

Answer 5

Raise taxes to counter a smoking ban? No thanks! i just quit this year, and I am DONE paying tobacco related taxes! DONE!!!

Answer 6

slow suicide is allowed so if drinkers want to smoke and hurry up the process I say let them :)
