In Reply to: O/T Smoking ban posted by c-man on March 13, 2009 at 10:57:14:
MN started a statewide ban a couple of years ago- in all public places, factories, etc. Biggest opposition came from bar and restaurant owners, as if they were the only ones affected. Some bars found the exception that allowed smoking in a theatrical performance- so they issued tags reading "actor", and let patrons smoke. That got shot down within a few weeks. Service clubs objected with the argument, I fought for this country, now they tell me I can"t smoke at the club. It"s as ridiculous as saying an underage drinker should be left off because he"s old enough to serve his country. I cannot remember giving up a few years of my life to serve so that I could smoke- I thought it was for a bigger reason. My only brother had 33 years in the Army, smoked, died a miserable death from emphysema a few years after retiring. Only about 20% of the population smokes, while 100% breathes. If you"re going to have a ban, then enforce it. Sure hasn"t killed any of my smoking friends when they go outside the bar for a puff. I enjoy patronizing the local bars, but don"t come home smelling like a chimney. Never any shortage of discourteous smokers who think it"s fun to blow smoke in another"s face.
