The real reason bars hate non-smoking rules

The latest breakthrough in the world of science is stunning. Apparently smoking helps increase a person's capacity for booze. This provoked a couple of random thoughts:

1) Why is this research happening? Who is funding it? Is this really pushing back the frontiers of science?

2) How do I become a subject in this research? Is pot the same as tobacco? Cigars as good as cigarettes?

2) Should I be smoking at the bar so I can have an extra beer before driving home?

3) Is this why bars don't want to embrace no smoking rules? I have to admit that I enjoy the cleaner air in bars. I used to smoke and not - coincentally I now discover - could drink more. Perhaps I should start again. Maybe the second hand smoke was enough to provide me with inebriation immunity.
