I'm not argueing the smoking issues here..I had my final say a while ago...but I did want to point out an inconsistancy...Yorick claims bars have gained 3% in revenue since the smoking ban...Yesterday on the radio news, the economic figures for NYC stated that there has been a marked down turn in the revenues generated by those same bars and establishments that used to be for smokers. I don't know wether Yorick's figures are corret or the news stations are correct..I ahve sources for the data from neither party. So Im asking, Yorick can you tell me where you got your +3% number? Im attempting right now to track down where ABC news got theirs...I will post the stats when I find them.
