I am also convinced that people's senses/brains have been hard-wired for hypersensitivity as regards degree of "stench."

I suppose so. Grown up in rural Germany in times when smoking was allowed everywhere, one of my earliest memories was that unique combination of stale smoke and Maggi that filled my nose when entering a rustic village inn. And I liked it, because it came with a decent meal ;)

I'm sure that today's youth would vomit instantly...

In the United States most Casinos permit smoking because Gaming brings in big revenue for local and state governments.

I guess if people wish to gamble, they’ll accept smoke as a part of that experience. Of course, Casino restaurants are no smoking and the air filtration is far more accomadating to non smokers.

I grew up in the 70’s. When I was old enough to frequent bars and clubs, the “hangover” was not from drinking, so much as breathing smoke you could barely see through. The saturation in hair and clothing, I can still remember. It’s Repugnant. I never smoked cigarettes but every older generation family member did. It’s a big paradigm shift for sure.

I see Pipe Lounges as an opportunity. There are Cigar lounges. There are Hookah lounges. There are Vape spots and soon, Marijuana. Why not cater to the Pipe?

I've only been to a bar with no smoking once in my life.. This shit is just taking hold here in my part of Alabama.

I went out with my brother in Atlanta.. no smoking, so I really didn't know what to do with my time. I ended up getting shit faced drunk to pass the time.. It was no bueno. I'll pass on non smoking bars.

McDonalds. Fast food, fried food, alcohol, luxury cars and appliances that last only a few years and fill up the land fills with dangerous rare earth elements. Chemical insecticides, fungicides, genetically altered plants and animals impacting our internal bio systems. Cruise boats, jet planes, ATVs, I can go on and on. But you think smoking is THE selfish act That impacts the lives of everyone so much that we need to accept that people want to live better and not be bothered by smokers. Hypocrisy.

Don't forget jets jettisoning fuel before each landing.
