ya know what? I don't smoke on a regular basis, but when I'm drinking I want to smoke and that is that way with quite a few people I know. I think if you want no smoking then open a bar of your own without smoking. Bars are made for drinking and smoking! Have been since Saloon days in the Wild West!
