What a bunch of uptight pantywaists. I thought these folks were smokers?You've hit a spot that is extremely sore.
Many (MANY) anti-smokers come on these threads with nothing more than hateful comments.
Smokers that defend a property owners right to allow, or disallow, smoking on their property have come to have knee jerk reactions to anything that can be construed as a personal attack.
Like I say, I know you well enough, barely, to know what you meant but many do not.

Im a musician who has been playing NYC for years . I couldnt tell you how many club owners , bartenders and bouncers I know on a first name basis. The smoking ban has KILLED business and the scene in general.Nothing but trouble. Half the kids all take the Path train these days, hit NJ where ya can smoke (and park too if need be ) then come back to NYC for last call.blooberg thinks he BOUGHT NYC.It's his and he hates smoking. He claims that he did it to save the health of people who work the bars.Go ask any bar worker in NYC what they think of that .

All of the smoking Nazis have to lie,because the fact is,that smoking bans DO decrease a bar's profits.

Like I say, I know you well enough, barely, to know what you meant but many do not. Thanks again, Joe. First time I have ever seen that screen name and I felt some salt going into a wound.
I did misunderstand her and I apologize. :)

Won't get any disagreement here toots.
I don't like it and have seen the financial impact of the ban in this part of NYS also.

I'm just shaking my head here. It's like "What??"
It's like "what?? Hrm ... I think I understand why my first post blew right past you. Sorry about that.
For that matter, save a few scoundrels in DC and KC, been a while since I've been to a FReeper gathering. Things may have changed quite a bit.

I still think even those educated in public schools ought to be able to figure out the first post ... whether they know me or not.At times, we're all guilty of miscommunication.
Insulting those who fail to get your point, those whose side you're putatively on, and then referring to them as "these people" hardly helps.

You anti-smoking fascists have to go - and don't touch my monitor screen!
