“I’m down 25 to 50 percent because of the smoking ban and that’s a big chunk of my business” says Izzi.

There’s also another hazard for smokers and it has nothing to do with the air. When smokers take a break and don’t change to their street shoes, the shoes will get wet, stick and people could hurt themselves.
