Assume that your local municipality is considering the passage of a law that would prohibit the sale of all tobacco products from the interiors of bars and restaurants, but not grocery stores. The restaurant you manage has a cocktail lounge, and cigarettes are both consumed and sold in that section of your restaurant.

What are the major considerations you will think about before you decide to support or oppose the proposed legislation? 

Will the fact that you do or do not smoke influence your position? 

Which ethical issues are in play here?
