title: The air we breathe.
abstract: Public attitudes toward smoking are complex, but the facts for businesses are clear.  Second-hand smoke is a major health hazard, and the most unhealthy places for second-hand smoke are bars and restaurants.  While there is little support for a total smoking ban, selected bans are more popular.  Even if new federal rules don't force restaurants to ban smoking, businesses can gain a competitive edge by going smoke-free.
