Free-Market without regulations.

What about the Servers who would have to work there or find another job? As I remember, it was the airline attendants that were the first employees to get the ball rolling regarding second hand smoke. I’m not a big fan of government regulation and many times there is a “gray area” as when to support or not support government regulation authority. When it was found that smoking was a public health issue, government regulation kicked in. Public health is a legitimate area for regulation IMHO. Health Inspectors that find poor sanitary restaurant conditions (roaches, improper food storage, etc.) are a good thing too. We regulate seatbelt use but not motorcycle helmets and the list could go on and on.
