  10. Did It Hurt Businesses? • Many businesses thought it would hurt their business because they’d lose money • Creating a smoke free environment helped the businesses • “The Peanut Barrel” in Michigan thought for sure its doors would close, when instead it became a family friendly environment and made more money than ever before
