They got around that simple logic by saying that the employees in smoking only bars had to be exposed to the second hand smoke against their will. The employees couldn't make a choice on their own whether to work at a non-smoking or smoking bar it seems.
Don't know if they were the first but they did do it:
Yeah, I was joking about the fat thing. I also agree with your comment on far right/conservative movement split. For me, it’s hard to side with people who would like the government to limit free choices. I know this isn’t politico, so I’m not trying to label anyone as commies (far left) or Nazis (far right). Just thought I’d throw that out there.
Sorry, couldn't let that pass. Blackbird.
I have worked in refrigeration and air conditioning for several years. I thought the ice machines came from the factories with slime installed.
I have worked on ice cream machines that were in very clean restaurants. The machines were spotless on the outside. There were thousands of roaches hiding underneath the access panels.
I guess what we don’t know can’t kill us. :0[
Same thing happened in Madison where the business community constantly tries to appease the Central Committee and whatever promises the Central Committee makes are inevitably broken.
Prior to the City’s smoking ban, bars thought they could be exempt if they put in these very expensive air filtration systems, so they put them in, then the Central Committee stabbed them in the back. And then twisted the knife.
Progressive Danes and other totalitarian types always hate business, until the tax base in destroyed. Well, even then, but then they just whine about business fleeing the kill zone.
Never make a deal with a commie scumbag or a hippie.
Thanks weegee - was wondering how this was going to affect my favorite cigar bar in town - I still go there...good memories of the Black Beret Brigade Clinton Rally in 1998. The bar is a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy a cigar.
I may have to drive to Houston to do some undocumented smoking. I hear that with these bans, there are acres and acres of tobacco rotting unpicked in the fields...
I guess some of us just have to smoke the tobacco most Americans won't smoke.
Nice picture of future Lung Cancer victims.
I know that two Marlboro men (life time smokers) died from lung cancer.
Well Pasadena jumped onto this bandwagon too. At least you can still smoke in Deer Park, and La Porte. :)
“I like turtles.”
I hate smoking nazis....
Absolutely not...I was just there Thursday night enjoying a cigar. Cigar bars like 10 Downing Street are just about the only establishments not affected by the ban.
