What's Your Opinion of Legislation to Ban Smoking in Bars and Restaurants?

Reducing disease and death caused by smoking and secondhand smoke exposure is a major priority of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC Foundation has launched an initiative to provide restaurant and bar owners with scientific and experiential information on the impact of smoke-free policies on the hospitality industry. The initiative is designed to increase restaurant and bar owners’ understanding of the benefits of smoke-free policies, and has targeted operators in the states of Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina and Texas via a video series on YouTube. Click here to watch the videos and then tell us what you think of these efforts? If you own a restaurant in one of the six above states, please take the short survey below.

I don't object to it, but I don't promote it.
I am neutral on the subject
I am against it because it would hurt my business.
