This law was passed some years ago in NY. We visit western NY each year to see friends and family and have seen the affects of banning smoking in Bars. Every bar now has a patio area equipped with fan/heaters as the weather dictates and the patrons that smoke gather out side.It puts a damper on bars that offer live music as there are few people inside to watch or listen to the band. Does this law say smoking only permitted in private clubs? If so here we go everyone join a club and party there. This is government making decisions for us again. We are too stupid to decide if we want to go to a place that allows smoking so lets make a law where they all are non smoking.Thank you Big Brother.
