  there are many, many bars and clubs who have no smoking policies. 90% of the bars and clubs on Guam do not allow anyone under 21 into them. Therefore leave the clubs and bars that do allow smoking alone. the way this should be done is if the law to forbid under 21 to buy, possess or smoke is passed then make the drinking age and entrance to a club or bar 21.You can still allow for age 18 to 21 to work in a club, if they so choose to do so knowing full well there is drinking and smoking activity going on as they apply for the job.
  then those who don't want to be around the smoke have the right to patronize the club and bars that do not allow smoking inside them. At age 21 you are saying they have the knowledge and ability to make a choice to drink or smoke. if they make that choice to enter an establishment that allows smoking and drinking, that is their choice. Not the choice of 15 senators telling us what and what no to do in order to protect ourselves from the world at large. you have already pretty much killed the nightclub and bar businesses on Guam by forcing most of them to close nightly at 2:00 a.m. when most of the crowd who patronizes these establishments doesn't come out until after midnight. no more nails to the coffin please.

  Smoking is a well known health hazard for the smoker and all other people subjected to it. Therefore it makes sense to ban it in all public places.
