Awesome – I was actually in ABC last December and left before ordering because the smoke was so bad. I’ve been making a point of trying to give my money to businesses that don’t allow smoking – i.e, Caseys, Hillers (they recently stopped selling tobacco) and now ABC. I will definitely be in some evening this summer.

Would a bar putting up a big “SMOKERS WELCOME” sign get this kind of free advertising?

Will the bars be getting high chairs and taking the “naughty” adult songs off the jukebox? They’ll probably have to install baby changing tables under the vending machines in the washrooms. Now that a “shot and beer” bar is “public property”, the owner can no longer deny entry to ANYONE.

This is long overdue and is most exciting! I love ABC, the dartboards, shuffleboard, and beer. I have to be honest though, I sometimes avoided ABC because the smell and thickness of smoke was so bad. This is a great decision.

It's not THEIR money. They just get their bans, and move on. link to pdf file

Part of the reason the state ban has not passed yet is advocates here have taken a harder line than those in other states — they want cigar bars and even tobacco shops included. Almost all states exempt tobacco shops (If it’s called a “smoke shop,” do you really expect nonsmokers to work there?) and many exempt cigar bars as well.

But advocates here are happy to put them out of business. What’s another empty storefront, right?
