Irish smoking ban hurts business
Isabelle Hontebeyrie
According to Irish Publicans, they are seeing their businesses down by 12 - 15%.
Donall O'Keeffe, Chief Executive of the Licensed Vintners' Association said: "Figures from the Dublin trade clearly show that, on average, pub revenues have been hit by between 12% and 15%. ....make no mistake about it, the Smoking Ban is having a serious financial impact". He went on: "A sustained downturn of 12% to 15% is a serious matter for the majority of Dublin publicans and has clear implications for both jobs and the Exchequer... the Ban is hurting".

That's because we Irish love to drink, smoke and sing.
Take that away, well, it just sucks.
Here in Dallas, it is banned in restaurants but not bars.
As a smoker, I say let me do whatever I want to my own body. And if you can't handle the smoke, get out of the bars!
