But people can still smoke in restaurants here in the South.
Those Leftist Damned Yanquis can stay up there, where they can't hurt anybody but other Yanquis.
Yeah, when I was still living in Colorado that was something that really stood out to me on my trips out here. It is nice that we still have some simple freedoms here. Although I am not a smoker, I always thought it was wrong to impose the smoke-free every environment on everybody like the tobacco nazis have been doing. I can remember when there were very few places where you couldn't smoke..bus, grocery store, plane. hospital room, college classroom. Heck even the high schools and some junior high schools had smoking areas, although as I recall, kids had to have parent's permission to smoke. I can be sympathetic to people who really don't like cigarette smoke and never really had a problem with smoking areas and non-smoking areas, but they won't be happy until you can't even smoke in your own yard...or house for that matter.
