<DIV><FONT face=Arial>As usual, the dismissive attitude of "well, you don't have
to work there if you don't like the smoke" is a straw man. As a commercial
refrigeration mechanic, I'm exposed to all sorts of unpleasant situations. The
problem is though, it's not just me, there are many, many people that do all
sorts of deliveries and services for these places. I would venture to guess that
any one of the service providers would be terminated for refusing to enter a
smoking establishment. So, it's not just the waitstaff that are exposed to the
secondhand smoke. I have met many folks who are non-smokers and are in the
situation of accepting the smoky working conditions or having no job at all.
It's not quite so "simple" as Kai would like it to be.</FONT></DIV>

Smoking</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>There's an easy way to keep workers from being "forced" to work
in a smoky atmosphere.<BR>Only hire smokers.<BR>Easy, simple fix, no
problem.<BR>As for patrons, no one forces them to go to bars. Should they
CHOOSE to do so, they do it at their own risk.<BR> <BR>I smoke
and the only bars I've gone to in the past 20 years have been: Casa
Lopez, three times, and while on a cruise ship. Both non-smoking.<BR>I don't
smoke in my house, I don't smoke in my car (I do in my truck) and I only
book non-smoking hotel rooms.<BR> <BR>When the city passes this, might I
suggest someone make a good business investment by building a roadhouse just
outside city limits? Offer good entertainment and a shuttle and you'll make a
mint.<BR><BR>
