I hope that wasn't referring to me Cooper, since I didn't write the article.
Let me ask you a question. Do you think it's right that if someone builds a business putting much of their personal money into it, they are not allowed to smoke in their own office?
Illinois already had legislation that let businesses have the choice to become smoke-free, which many did. Why force the ones that did not? People can choose to go wherever they want. If they don't like being in a smokey bar they can just walk across the street to a bar that chose to go smoke-free.
Bar and restaurant owners are not stupid. They know what their patrons want. Why let government interfere and decide for them?
