I may be 100% against any smoking ban on private property, but I still shake my head in disbelief when I see an outfit like Big John's Billiards continue its quixotic quest to repeal Nebraska's ban. The voters, legislators, and courts have spoken pretty clearly on this one. And the pool hall's argument is awfully lame; they say that the law's exceptions are unfair and unconstitutional. Whether or not that's true, many laws apply unequally to different businesses. Some businesses can sell alcohol (or certain types of alcohol) while others cannot; some businesses can sell food (or certain types of food) while others cannot. And so on.
Anyway, I wish Big John's the best of luck battling a law I really hate. On the other hand, if they should somehow happen to win they'll never catch me stepping foot onto the premises. I'll happily applaud them from the clean air of the nearest comparable smoke-free establishment.

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
I know it’s an expense…but why not have a Beer/pool garden…a semi-enclosed area where (except in winter) people can go outside and drink/smoke/play pool…
That’s what bars have to do..and they’re fine. In fact I think they are underestimating the determination to smoke of most smokers…it might even work in the winter.
