Last week the Boston Globe ran a story about city and business leaders in Provincetown trying to come up with new ways to attract tourists to Provincetown -- you know, bring the kids and see the q***rs, or something -- because business has plunged in a town that survives on bars and restaurants.
Now, the Globe, being antismoking to the core, never asked what impact the smoking ban has had on Provincetown but I can tell you:
The smoking ban had a bigger impact on Provincetown than a plague!!!

It was very hard for me to believe that Boston went smoke free as well as Cape Cod.  We spent a lot of time on the Cape and I had to attend school a few times in Boston. 

I often wondered how Boston and the Cape made it after the smoking ban.  I know P Town is all gay territory.

And it's pathetic when the media doesn't report BOTH sides of the smoking ban.  If nothing is printed about the downside, then everyone believes all is ok.  Well, all is NOT ok!

You should think about joining the United Smoker's Newsletter and pass all the information on to the bar owners that you might now.  Restaurants as well.

I lived on Cape Cod for almost thirty years and I gotta tell you that P-Town used to be one of the East Coast's great party towns.

The Surf Club, The Governor Bradford, The Crown and Anchor. The Gifford House with four or five bars on different levels, all with different clientels. Commercial Street on a weekend night. The Blessing of the Fleet.

It started to change when the cops in all the small towns between P-Town and Hyannis decided to aid their bottom line by making it tough to drive home with only one or two drinks under your belt.

A pox on the Bluenoses and modern day Puritans.

As is the Toledo Blade, as is the Columbus Dispatch, ....etc;etc. They don't give a shit how many go under, as long as smokers are further demonized and kicked out of society. I sometimes think the rabid smoker-haters would be willing to see the entire hospitality industry in this country go belly-up, as long as that goal was realized.
