Yep, if a hotel wants to ban smoking. That's their right. But the government banning it in all bars and telling private business owners what to do is not right.

You've been to AZ. They banned smoking in bars/clubs here in 2007. You can smoke on patios but if it's inside... no go.
I believe the only legal exceptions are hookah lounges and a couple bars around here that are labeled by the city as "patio properties" and grandfathered in. Patio meaning they did not have solid walls to the property at the time they were built and coded.
In fact, to further the "we don't want to be near smoke" campaign, you're not even allowed to smoke within 20 feet of a main entrance to a business.
It's pretty retarded.
I can understand not wanting to smell smoke if you don't smoke - I smoke and I don't even want to smell it half the time... but to pass a law regarding it is taking it a bit far.
Only place I agree with it is places that primarily serve food... Most smokers I know don't even smoke when they're eating.
