Right but I said private bar. Not open to the general public.
Regarding your other paragraphs, that still doesn't explain bars that were open for years now closing after the ban.
Saying maybe they weren't doing well in the first place isn't a closed bar.
Pointing out a packed bar you went to 10 years ago was filled with non-smokers says nothing about bars that depend on the patronage of smokers.
Saying that you know people that prefer to drink at home (I'm one of them, btw) says nothing about folks who frequent bars for drink then. You may as well had pointed out that you know people that don't drink.
Mind you, I'm not saying bars don't fail on their own (like any other business) but I can see this as a nail in the coffin.
I am in total agreement with the principle of the ban. It's just I can see some nipshit non-smoker demanding entrance to a private bar.
