[QUOTE="SoBaus"][QUOTE="jimmyjammer69"]I imagine restaurants are subject to different regulations on open flames and fumes than typical businesses, in the same way that most states make smoking exemptions for places such as tobacconists, where smoking is pretty much the sole purpose of the establishment. Which state are we talking about, btw?jimmyjammer69
all states, but i live in connecticut. I used to goto pennsylvania and smoke and goto bars but then they made it illegal too. Its country wide. Im not entirely sure what a tobacconist even is....
same reason i dont goto a sushi place and demand pizza... i have basic knowledge that tells me different establishments serve different purposes. So if i want to eat pizza i dont goto a sushi restaurant, and if im looking for a health and wellness program i dont goto a bar. For me this makes sense, for most... maybe not. We should legally make bars serve only brown rice and skinless chicken breast for food and only blended wheat grass as beverages... sounds good to me, amirite?
Oh, that's not so bad if you're a smoker then, because in CO you can smoke in small workplaces and private clubs with pre-2003 alcohol licences. There's also some bizarre double standard for cigars, for some reason. TBH, the indoor workplace ban makes a lot of sense to me. Since you mention restaurants, I've heard restaurant and bar owners and staff are generally really positive about the indoor ban.the alternative, is that the owner sets regulations.
If you dont like cigarette smoke, heres an idea.... dont apply for a job at an establishment that permits smoking. Alot of bars have gone under due to smoking restrictions. Im guessing a bankrupt bar owner would give you a less positive review as his home is being forclosed on.
There were non smoking establishments waaaay before the smoking ban.
