Sad to be an Ohioan ping.

Sign to be posted at all public locations: "NO SMOKING. To report violations, call..." It reminds me of Nazis.

yes, the logical response that comes to mind is "seig heil"


Sadley, this is legislation that was enacted by a republican dominated state government.

seig heil indeed?

[television is just wrong]

I don't smoke, I would never turn anyone in for smoking. Good grief what is this country coming to?

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

First get the people to feel comfortable turning in others for smoking. After a while, add a few things. Your neighbor doesn't recycle? Turn him/her in. Turn in your neighbor for receiving gun magazines. Turn in your neighbor for his/her opinion. What? your neighbor doesn't like some of the "modifications" to marriage that liberals like? Turn him/her in. What? Your neighbor doesn't like the fascist direction that the USA is going in? Turn him/her in!

When I call them NicoNazis, I am not kidding!

This law is the result of an Ohio ballot issue.

Voters here in Ohio forced this crap to be legislated. (I was among the minority that voted against it.)

More tyranny from the Lifestyle Tyrants.

Coming to a State near you!

They sure love sucking up our cigarette tax dollars though, don't they!

[Cyclops08]

We could stop this informing thing right quick by turning in every liberal we know. Give anonymous tips for the local DNC and union headquarters. Lets the cops march in there. Turn in the licence plates of health nazis and say they are smoking with kids in the car.

Lets try a million false alarms and see what happens.

Hello,hello,...Yes,I want to report a blatant violation of the smoking ban.

Stay calm sir! Tell us you where you are!


I'm at the corner bar. Please hurry! He's heading for the cigarette machine!

Everyone in the state should call in and report the governor and all other elected state officials namely lawmakers. Bogus reports of course but they would quickly after a few days of phone bank saturation get the message. Call the state lawmakers offices as well and ask is this where I call to turn in a smoker? How much is the reward? Make them aware of outrage by being as annoying about it as they are.

Do a Gomer Pyle. Watch for public officials lighting up anywhere even in a smoking area then point at them and shout Citizens Arrest. LOL
Signed, Non Smoker getting highly irate by the all seeing eye of Big Brother

[NeoCaveman]

Reminds me of the song:


I WENT BACK TO OHIO
BUT MY SMOKE FILLED DIVE BAR
HAD BEEN SHUT DOWN
BY A GOVERNMENT THAT HAD NO PRIDE

THE POOL HALLS OF OHIO
HAD BEEN BEEN FILLED WITH NO SMOKING SIGNS
AND MUZAK FILLED THE AIR
FROM SENECA TO CUYAHOGA FALLS
SAID, A, O, OH WAY TO GO OHIO

Cops are going to need to hire secret informer patrols to spend the time running around pointing out offenders. Sounds pleasant, don't like your neighbor or someone at work? Tell on them or maybe ... make it up or set them up. Sounds like personal freedom is going to be a thing of the past.
