FWIW, my husband is a smoker and he is going to vote for Issue 5. He has tried to quit in the past but admits that smoking is a stress reliever for him. He says that Issue 5 is very similar to the smoking ban passed in Philadelphia except that one allows smoking in bars where food sales are 10% or less of the revenue.
While the supporters of Issue 4 accuse Issue 5 of being draconian, they gloss over the fact that Issue 4 would negate any local smoking regulations already in place which are more restrictive than the ones in Issue 4.
My husband, our 20 yr old son and I are all voting "no" on Issue 4 and "yes" on Issue 5. If I could convince my older son and his wife to go vote on Tuesday we would have 5 votes.
Three "Yes" Votes on Issue 5
