Nanny State PING!
Rhino...Great bar.
Great ventilation in the men’s room for that one hitter or a joint!
“cities in the U.S. and abroad that have banned indoor smoking in public places have experienced an average of 17 percent fewer heart attacks in the first year of the ban,”
yeah right!
smoking (not LDL and fat in general) causes plaque and obstruction.....uh huh
A good way around such things is to reverse your business model to that of a private smoking club. Since there have been efforts to shut down such clubs, claiming that the smoke injures employees, the way around that is to not have employees, but shareholding members that earn shares by working for the club.
The club is very exclusive, in that no government employees, police officers, lawyers, or anyone associated with them is allowed to join. Members must sign statements about their beliefs, and state for a video camera that they would only report or testify against the club under coercion or bribery, and that anything they say under such circumstances should be considered as deceitful and corrupt.
The club also offers other activities, like bartending classes, in which members provide their own alcohol, and the club provides the non-alcoholic ingredients and demonstrates how such drinks are mixed.
Members also pay a fixed fee for membership, plus additional fees for special services, like a shuttle to and from the club.
And of course, tobacco use is perfectly acceptable.
I'm neither a smoker nor a "pro smoker", I'm a "get your nanny state nose out of other people's personal decisions.
scores of studies show that exposure to secondhand smoke hurts the economy far more, causing heart disease, cancer, and other illnesses that exact huge tolls.
Unmitigated B.S. Cite one that hasn't already been debunked.
