What the fuck is your family doing in a bar?
We're not talking about restaurants here, or any other places where people who lead a healthy lifestyle spend much time. We're talking about bars- places people go to get drunk.
Again- if there were as many people who can't stand smoking in bars as people who either a) smoke or b) don't mind it, then there would be more non-smoking bars than ones that allow smoking, because it would make bar owners more money. There should be bars that fill that niche, and there are. Perhaps there should be more. But handing down an order from above that no bar can allow smoking on its premises is ridiculous.
Personally, I don't like smoking when I'm not drinking. Hell, in the morning, the thought of a cigarette makes me ill. But some non-smokers are so fucking self-righteous, and like any other idealogues, it pisses me off.

"Architecture is the art of balancing values: economic, aesthetic, public, private. It always involves compromise, and few architects would deny that the client's desires take precedence. But the best architects understand that they also have an obligation to the public welfare, no matter who is paying their bills. That often means investing time in educating clients rather than simply acceding to their desires."
