Koretos said had he known the full impact of the ban, he would have fought against it even harder.

No one thought it could happen to them. :(

This sounds as if things in Skokie are happening as they should. That is, at a local level, letting a property owner decide whether he/she wants to allow a legal practice go on in the investment/business he made.

After all is said and done on this subject, the one fact still remains........at least in my part of the country..

No one asked for this. It is borne of the nanny state and its subscribers and their need to 'protect' us.

A closer look would more than likely reveal that they are running out of things to regulate.

The real concern here, IMHO, is not whether or not smoking should be allowed, but whether or not interference with a citizen's right to make decisions on his own should be allowed.
