Why would the paper even do a story on this? So what how much business a bar has?

It's as if they're saying, See? We supported the smoking ban and we were right. Our decision was good...well la di frickin' DA!

This statement would lead me to believe business is down 25 %.

Yes I do I say don't let me see you doing that and don't do it in front of me. You are breaking the law using it. So do not implicate me in your criminal act.  :deadhorse:

Now replace cannabis with non smokers or water drinkers.

Can I come to your bar and drink water all night without a snide look.
Don't you want me to drink alcohol?
What about coming to your place and not inhaling smoke? Can I do that?
These things are legal.
What about hopscotch? Can I come and play hopscotch in your bar?
