Here's an interesting bit of data to contemplate.
In Ohio there's no smoking in public places and
strippers can no longer touch their customers.
The outcome, the development of underground
strip clubs that allow smoking. Really little more
than fronts for prostitution where smoking is
low on the list of health risks.
Don't have an ax to grind in the smoking debate
but bans lead to unintended consequences.

==========================================
Reading all this stuff the last few days, I have had similar thoughts
as to unintended consequences.
Like Prohibition ? and rise/increase in organized crime ?
