The law was mainly passed by the northern rural communities that aren't affected by the ban. If the vote were for Las vegas only (a city, rather than state initiative) then the less restrictive measure would have passed. I was blaming all of the transplanted Californians who move here and then want this area to become mini-LA until i started looking at the voting numbers by county.
As a non-smoker, I enjoy being able to go into a restaurant and not have to smell like smoke when I leave. However, I think the owner of the business should be able to decide if he wants to create a non-smoking section or simply be able to hang a sign that says "We do not offer a non-smoking section" then patrons can make their choice of wanting or not wanting to do business with that establishment.
