How long before a Federal smoking ban? I don't think it's that far off. Columbus, Ohio just outlawed smoking in ALL public places, within 20 feet of any entrance/exit, and in all company owned vehicles.
Some are already talking about a state wide ban to "level the playing field."

"Ans since their is a strong inverse relationship between smoking and income level,"
First the word is anD. Second I did not realize this was a Nazi sight. Bloomberg is referred to as the Nazi Mayor of NYC, and there are many movements to fight this. Leave it to the LSM to find the ONE & ONLY bar owner that goes along with this. He should try walking the streets of Brooklyn to see how many establishments have closed since these ludicrous bans went into effect. The local bars start getting rid of the "visitors" & lock the doors when only the regulars are there. People need to get a life & stay out of everyone else's.

First the word is anD. Second I did not realize this was a Nazi sight.First, I corrected my typo, and a more glaring one you missed, in post 20.
Second, I believe the word you are looking for is site, not sight.
Third, I have no idea why you're upset with me. If you actually read my post (typos and all), you would see that I oppose Mayor Bloomberg's smoking ban. That said, calling him, and me, a Nazi, is uncalled for; screaming "Nazi" at those you disagree with does nothing to advance any debate.

Mr. Nutter said he was not worried about the political ramifications.

Of course, a Nutter wouldn't worry.
Hang in there, Chick.

I wasn't among those pushing for the ban. I was against it from the beginning.
