Reply #7: Good. Blanket bans aren't the answer

Here in Denver they're trying to shut down the smoking lounges at DIA for no other reason than they're the only public building in CO where you can smoke. It doesn't matter that they are constantly packed and that the employees make more tips from grateful travelers than any other bar/restaurant in the airport. When you're flying you're basically trapped especially on layovers. You can't just walk outside for a smoke. Now is this right or just imposing your will on everyone?
