Last year Michigan put in a ban on smoking that is affecting many bars and restaurants. These establishments complain that the ban is hurting their business. While I do feel for them, this ban helps save lives so tough cookies.
Having said that, do you know what else hurts business for bars and restaurants? High gas costs. Corn being used for ethanol. 10's of thousands of public employees losing their jobs. Inflation. Large companies hoarding money instead of hiring new employees. Lack of consumer confidence. Poor weather conditions. Rising health care costs. The earth quake in Japan. Health inspections. etc.
There are plenty of things business can complain about these days. That doesn't mean that the complaints are valid.
