Report about the Smoking Ban

First of all, my interview is about the Smoking Ban at PK's. The manager and the owner were there at the same time. They were very nice people and when i asked them that I was doing a survey, they responded automatically. So I asked them some few questions about what they feel about the smoking ban. When I was doing the interview, the owner left and directed me to his manager. They said,the smoking ban does not affect their business. They were complaining about the smoking ban since it has been into effect. I asked the manager if they are considering of building a place for the smokers in the bar and he said no, because Pk's does not run a lot of money and there is no room for it. So I understood that it is a small business. He also told me that restaurants should have different rules from bars because bars are more opened and they are for drinking. However, restaurant is for luxury and people do not really like to smoke in restaurants because they want to smell real food. Finally,the smoking ban does not have any effect on Pk's revenue and they are not happy about it.

In my opinion, i think that since the smoking ban has been in effect, many bars are complaining and it is really good because we need some kind of hygiene for our health. People should try to understand what is the benefit that they can have beside the smoking ban and how it can be really helpful to them. The smoking ban among different states in the United States can differ for bars. We can have many opinion from different people but the one that I got was about Pk's and I think Pk's is a very small place and the smoking ban will be better for them.

Effects of Smoking Ban

http://media.www.siude.com/media/storage/paper1096/news/2008/01/18/City/Smoking.Ban.Has.Unforeseen.Effects.On.Restaurants-3157222.shtml

According to Dave Lopez many restaurants enjoyed new life since the smoking ban came into effect. Many restaurants reported their revenue increased since the smoking ban went into effect, but 600 violations were reported through out h state and most of the local restaurants claim that most of their customers followed the new law. For an example of smoking ban, The Longbranch Coffeehouse is the premier spot in Carbondale and many people thought that his business may suffer because of the new law but they were wrong, it has increased. The new law stated if customers want to smoke to go outside and smoke. Many restaurant owner's appreciate the new law because it makes their business grow and you can smell real food inside.

I think smoking ban is a good and safe for people because it can save hem from having cancer. Smoking ban in a restaurant can make the food much safer than before and help people be in good health. There is a good side of smoking ban and a bad side that people do not like, some people say they do not feel well smoking outside Show Me's where they work, according to Khatleen Kelly, a sophomore student at John A. Community College from DuQuoin. There is also some of the customers who want to take profit of the smoking ban to avoid paying for their food. So the smoking ban is a good thing that people enjoyed and it makes the place more comfortable to people because they can really smell good food, enjoy it and attract people because it is clean.
