so what you're say is........... since they banned smoking in restaurants, smokers have stopped going to these restaurants. So the amount of greasy food being taken in has decreased. This in turn has minimized the amount of overall heart disease?

Way to go smokers!

Let those grease eaters go on and kill themselves!
