1. It was not intended as a low blow - at all, but a fair point about the fact that one day Wellard's kid may exercise his(?) own freedom.
2. Non-smoking restaurants are common in the US. And, I am not against banning smoking in restaurants. I agree that non-smoking bars are rare -- primarily because many non-smokers DO smoke when drinking. (Seems we all need a release every now and then -- a time to do that which we normally don't.) HOwever, my point was that todays 15-20 year olds have a high percentage of asthma (ranging from 10-25% IIRC), so in the future the market actually WOULD provide non-smoking bars. Anything that high a percentage of the population has an interest in will be provided by the market. Non-smoking bars WILL be profitable without legislation, I assure you.
Plus, things which cater to kids will always be non-smoking. Think Disney World -- large, private, and they stuff you in an out-of-the-way corner if you dare light up (best I remember -- it's been years).
