I would not get your hopes up too high. They are upholding the State law over any local ordinance and this is Washington State we are talking about ...

A smoking case in favor of smokers? I don't believe it.

Somebody check the weather in hell, see if it's freezing down there.

Not really...they're only saying the Co. Board of Health had no authority to enact it. Which, of course, tells the legislature that they DO have the authority to enact it.
Don't be surprised if this comes up again legislatively. These yahoos are relentless.

Not a bad week.....earlier the Virginia Senate killed a statewide smoking ban by 2 to 1.

No, they're not! You clearly love fascism and top-down control rather than LOCAL control.

If the locals desired a ban to protect the health of themselves and their neighbors, that's what should control. Go smoke in your own damn house! I'll pray for your children's health. Michael Jackson may have the urge to masturbate in public but I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate that and his behavior would be less risky and harmful to employees and fellow patrons.

and I had to stand 'cause the monkeys are trying to fly out my butt.

Won't last though, it will be reworked and reworded and once again Nanny can save us from ourselves.

I wouldn't be too optimistic. This was only struck down because a department within the state overreached their authority. That's about the only time you see a smack down like this. It's frightening that the Department of Health convinced themselves it was all right for them to enact this kind of a sweeping reform.

The fact that we've already put "Clean Air" legislation (of course, the diesel spewing buses idling on every other street corner are exempt) and are preparing to 'expand' that legislation is the real proof here that THEY ARE TELLING us what we can do and how we can live...in our own private enterprises.
