I know the feeling. In Burlington(first, then all other surrounding communities) Vermont, the councils voted for total bans--and that included my favorite places, PRIVATE CLUBS, such as Legion and VFW.

Restaurants and bars claim they have not suffered and that may be true as VT is one of the most liberal (read: Socialist) states in the Country.

However, I also quit completely, going out to restaurants.

Moved to Virginia a year ago and now am back to a normal life as you can smoke just about anywhere, although there are signs that some groups are trying to get legislation passed to do the same here.

What do you expect when we have a completely bias, stark raving mad, lunatic, as our Spur geon General, who espouses these ridiculous junk-science positions and no one challenges him? Thanks George for another stellar cabinet appointment. Your not even batting 50 - 50 as far as I'm concerned.

Yep.  And Gawd!  I thought KOOP was bad.  This guy is nothing but a bold faced liar!

I moved to Virginia 3 years ago and know what you are talking about. We're going to have a major battle on our hands come January, and we are going to need help prior to that to nip this nanny nonsense in the butt (pun inteneded) FReepMail me if you are willing to join the loyal opposition.
