A year later the anti-smoking crowd got smoking totally banned in almost all of these establishments. Their argument was that non smoking employees shouldn't be exposed to second hand smoke.

IMHO:
What a crock-a-shit. You see this argument all the time. Its as if its a persons right to be hired when they apply for a job...anywhere. If I couldn't find enough employees that smoked to run a bar/lounge.....and if 100% of my staff smoked it would basically make the work environment irrelevant.....I must not be looking too hard. Companies can discriminate against prospective employees for the fact that they DO smoke....so they should also be able to discriminate for the fact that they DON'T smoke.

Its all about business owners rights, not health concerns, as I know you can find other posts on here about.
