Iceguy you seem to think that the arguement for smoking bars is being made by smokers.
Col Von S, Mattp, and myself do not smoke cigarettes. I can't speak for Col. or Matt, but I dislike tobacco smoke. However, I am willing to put up with it when choosing a drinking establishment because most of the nonsmoking bars I've been to in the Seattle area suck. Life is too short to spend your free time in fern bars with prudish and rude employees.
That being said I do like the Latona, and I might be willing to try out a nonsmoking bar I haven't been to (once) .
