Lawmakers can be assured smoking bans were the cause of the worlds economic crisis
Smoking bans increased unemployment at a time when our economy was booming......but eliminating one hundred thousand+ hospitality jobs.....eventually has a negative trickle down effect on other industries. IE 100,000 unemployed hospitality workers stopped buying houses, or worse had their homes foreclosed upon, stopped buying cars, stopped buying computers, TVs etc., then the home-builders, automakers, electronic manufacturers, realtors, etc. started losing their jobs because of the effect from the 100,000+ unemployed bar and restaurant workers.......and the snowball races downhill.
3,382 UK pubs closed after their nationwide smoking ban
1,000 -2,000 US bars & restaurants closed after various local smoking bans were enacted
Nearly 300 Mpls / St. Paul bars & restaurants closed after smoking bans were enacted
Casino revenue losses in Colorado after smoking bans
Washington state gambling revenues fall sharply
Trump and Atlantic City casinos lose significant revenue after smoking ban
