split levels and open air areas are a good idea.. I definately think there should be a compromise.

I wrote "I don't see why your self-centered desire to be in a smoke-free environment should trump those who don't give a flying fuck or actually WANT a smoky environment."
Quite frankly, I don't see any names in there, whether they be formal names like "Bill" or "Mary Smith" or epithets like "asshole" or "ignoramus." Since when did merely presenting an argument mean one was calling someone a name?
Smokers just smoke, they don't "desire to foist the by products of their addiction onto other people" anymore than when you buy a six-pack of Bud you are intentionally supporting an industry that has millions of people addicted.
And as for split-level clubs, a split-level club is a great idea if the club owner thinks it's a great idea. The government needs to butt out (no pun intended).
