Smoking ban boosts jobs in New York

THERE’S one problem with the letter entitled ‘New York sports and suburban bars decimated by smoking ban’ (Irish Examiner, March 31). It’s not true.

After all, look who wrote the letter: a representative of the United Restaurant & Tavern Owners of New York. This group is just another mouthpiece for the tobacco people who are too cowardly to speak for themselves. Look under the skirts of anyone speaking out against smoke-free air and you will find the tobacco people.

Smoke-free air is good for people and for establishments.
