You just can't drink and drive any more. I'm not saying it like it's a bad thing, but it explains why people don't go to bars after work as much as they did before.
Regarding smoking bans, I think owners should be free to decide if they want to accept or ban smoking inside their property. You'll have family-friendly places with no cigarette smoke, and adult-friendly places with no loud babies; everybody would be happy!
- davidw 18y ago> You'll have family-friendly places with no cigarette smoke, and adult-friendly places with no loud babies; everybody would be happy! Well, except you don't. Owners are free to decide here in Austria, and people smoke everywhere. We have located three places that are smoke-free here in Innsbruck: Ikea, McDonalds, and Burger King. People who are ordinarily very polite, always stopping at cross-walks and such, think nothing of lighting up in front of a pregnant woman or a baby. I think this is one of the most interesting solutions I've seen to the smoking problem: http://oxonomics.typepad.com/oxonomics/2008/02/the-economcs-of.html http://oxonomics.typepad.com/oxonomics/2008/02/the-economcs-... Which would be more likely to create the outcome you cite than either a blanket ban, or no rules at all.
