Interesting how your poll results are almost identical to the percentage of smokers - no (25%) and non-smokers yes (69%) in Wisconsin!

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) causes disease in non-smokers. Workplace bans on smoking are interventions to reduce exposure to ETS to try to prevent harmful health effects. The Irish Government on the 29th March 2004 introduced the first national comprehensive legislation banning smoking in all workplaces including bars and restaurants.
