gazettefan - Excellent post. You made god points, while being both succinct AND using some sort of paragraph format.

Sometimes all you have to do is read a persons previous posts to understand their frame of mind. Cool feature.

I don't understand the impatience of some people. From a financial standpoint, you simply cannot staff enough people or own enough trucks to handle a once-in-ten-year snow fall within a few hours. What would you do with them the other 360 days of the year?

I'm curious why Haeight doesn't smoke in his own home, but I'm afraid of the resulting 3000 word ramble.

copperguy - In any profession where the employee is exposed to toxins (for lack of a better word), there are laws that require certain safegaurds be in place (respirators, etc). There is no practical way to protect employees exposed to smoke in a bar or restaurant all day. The only solution is to prevent smoking in enclosed work places or public spaces.
.
In Janesville, the only reason people have any choice at all to work in a smoke free environment is BECAUSE of the current ban on smoking in businesses that get at least 50% of revenues from food. They currently have no choice in other places like the traditional bar.
.
My point about analogies relates to any argument really. I, yoou, or anyone else can easily dispute analogies, because they don't exactly mirror the issue at hand. People spend more time arguing the analogy than the actual issue. But to each his own.

Few people have even commented on the effects of second hand smoke on the employees that spend all their time there. I know the pro-smokers will say, "well, they new there was smoking. If they don't like it, they can get another job". But again, a healthier society (for those that don't smoke) is what really matters.
.
And to those trying to make analogies to other "sins"...Don't waste your time. Those arguments just never hold up to scrutiny. Is it so hard to talk about the actual issue? Or have you run out of arguments?

It's sad when people lose their job, but in the restaurant world, I'd say that had a pretty good run.
Restaurants have to update once in awhile. Milwaukee Grill (Cornerstone) did, Mack's Pizza (Happy Joe's) did. Even national chains like McDonald's update every 5 years or so. That's just good business.
