The poll shows that 70% of North Carolinians support the rights of restaurant, bar and tavern owners to set their own smoking policy as long as a sign is posted out front.

“Our poll shows clear support for property owners in North Carolina,” said Jack Hawke with the John William Pope Civitas Institute. “A clear majority of people are willing to accept the decision of the person that owns the property, whether to allow smoking or not.”
