Intro: Hair Balls blog readers respond to "City Says Smoking Ban Has Had No Impact On Bars," By John Nova Lomax, February 26:
Air ventilation can easily create a comfortable environment that removes not just passive smoke, but also and especially the potentially serious contaminants that are independent from smoking. Smoke from tobacco in a decently ventilated venue is a statistically insignificant health risk.

Lying liars: You know, I don't understand why it still bothers me that the government lies like this. Everyone who goes to bars knows that business dropped off. Thomas's post is right on the money too, absolutely true that secondhand smoke is not dangerous, and the "studies" that say it is have been manipulated through bad statistical analysis to say it is.
