Talking Points:

The public at large supports smokefree ordinances.

Behavior change may take a while until folks fall back into their normal habits/patterns.

ALL independent studies of tax data show over time smokefree ordinances do NOT harm the industry as a whole. (i.e. NYC Health Dept. data & Zagat survey).

Secondhand smoke poses a real health threat to the employees that work in places that allow smoking, and unlike patrons, they don't have much of a choice.
