Nanny State Ping!!!!!!!!

649 people polled in the entire state???????? I would like to know which anti-smoker organization paid for this piece of bovine excrement.

This number is VERY close to the number polled (with the same results) for the City of Peoria, the entire State of Delaware, which has a population of less than 900,000, for the city of Philadelphia, as well as the entire State of Pennsylvania.

Well, if you poll parrons at the local Starbucks in downtown Charlotte, of course you will find more liberal vegans that think smoking is stinky.


But go to 90% of the rest of NC (including my hometown)in a local dive beer joint and you might get a different reaction.

I took a poll of business owners, and discovered that 97% oppose government imposed smoking bans. The 3% who were for it, have chosen to ban smoking in their establishments, and can't compete in the market place if customers have a choice.

If my town of Fitchburg, population 20K-ish, could defeat a Smoking Ban with Madistan breathing down her neck, NC can definately beat this. I agree. Bogus, slanted poll.

And if for some reason a smoking ban for NC is accomplished, remember that tobacco crops are gaining popularity with our farmers up here in the North, so we'll keep the 'baccy comin' for the other states. ;)
