Reading the whole article, I was surprised to learn that we finally have a case where secondhand smoke is being banned from a source other than those nasty, stinky old cigarettes and cigars.

Now the “better-than-thous” can get bit in the “butt” for a change.

Can cabbage be far behind?

It’s code (the part between EO and s) for an apostrophe.

EOs needs no apostrophe.

With so many freaks in charge I fear the day of the backyard grill may be numbered. I walk through home depot and see these propane mosquito killing machines that converts the propane and spews out co2 to attract the bugs. Those things days are definitely numbered. What a friggin world we live in now.

At first I thought it was to prevent wildfires which would make sense to me, but the mayors reason is just stupid. Next we will ban grills because of global warming and the lung cancer risk.

It doesn’t say in the article, but I bet you anything that the person who complained is a vegetarian.

I once heard one say, "just the smell of burning meat makes me sick".

Just a thought: in the Old Testement, didn't God like the smell of burning meat? (burnt offerings on the altar)

My best cooking is done on a Pilot Rock park grill with a couple of pounds of Kingsford charcoal. Mmm.

My husband is in charge of the grill cooking.....I confine mine to equipment I know how to operate, and that does not include any type of grill :)

The grill is sort of a sacred shrine to us males. It takes us back to our days as boys poking sticks into the campfire, and even farther back into our distant ancestry as Neandertals (probably) poking sticks into the campfire.

I can't explain it, but it is powerful and seductive. The building of the fire, the spreading of the coals, the preparing of the meat, it all is significant.

The most powerful part is the aroma...the smell of meat cooking over a charcoal or wood fire has been known to smite (yes, smite) males until they forget what they were doing and wander towards the smoke...we cannot resist it.

If there were an Eau de Pork cologne, infused with hickory or mesquite essence, women would be followed endlessly by hordes of mind-numbed males with no defense whatsoever.

It's what we do. There is no vegetable equivalent. There is no heart-healthy alternative. We succumb to the aroma of the successful hunt. Pass the mammoth, please.

I’m not that surprised, smoke is smoke after all, right?

Will be interesting to watch this EO ban get shot down because of property rights and sound scientific evidence...LOL

I hope there are more jurisdictions that will pull crap like this, maybe everyone will wake-up before it’s too late.

I dare say if the grren moonbats take over, grilling, wood burning stoves & fire places will be taxed or outlawed.

Some California cities started banning wood burning stoves and fireplaces at the same time electric rates and blackouts were occurring. They pretended to care about air quality while depriving people of a means of cooking and keeping warm in an electrical outage. Control freaks.
