People usually smoke when they drink, I know I do and I even have alot of friends who dont smoke, that will light one up when they drink.

I dont like old people drivers and I am afraid the blind bastards will kill me, no over 60 drivers on roads with over 25 speed limits. I feel for your situation, yet it all goes back to this big customization of life. Lately everyone wants to change things from the way they have been into a long list of rules. I will agree that outdoor smoking makes more sense though.

Sadly that is probably true. Building without considering future growth patterns and planning according to the present on projects that wont be finished until far into the future seems to be what alot of cities do, so they always remain behind. On the plus side there are always road construction jobs.

Well, I am really sick and tired of whiners and soccer mom types trying to purify america into a mass population of quakers. These people need to get a life or a hobby or an alcohol problem or something and stop telling people what they can and cant do. Granted smoking while eating is disgusting to me and I have eaten at a TON of restaurants with smoking, never have I really smelled it to the point of it bothering me, not only that, but on a larger scale it will hurt business obviously and like you said fuel the hell out of Covington and Newport restaurants. What did these people do in the 70's, 80's, etc etc when no such mention of these laws even existed. Why all of a sudden is everyone trying to customize the world to themselves. People smoke in bars, its a fact, and these losers trying to tell business owners and patrons what they cant do in a bar, probably dont drink or go to bars anyways.
