You say 20% smoke and have the clout to impose their habits on you? If your side is so numerous why not let business owners make their own decisions and see which clientel supports the business more and watch which way he goes.
You sound like a group out here near me (church/baptist) that fought and won to keep a c-store business owner from selling beer two miles from the church when there are numerous other outlets closer that offer it. They were suppose to support this store after they took money out of his pocket but that seemed to wane fast.
This is a matter of small business rights, you should organize and get your favorite social spots to ban smoking becase the majority of the patrons want it not because government dictates it.
Oh and one more thing lets all vote Mayor Jerry out of office and his counsel supporters just to send a messege.
