The state is a mess and going broke and this somehow helps the situation?
I’ve heard these cigar bars in Boston each roughly pay about 300,000.00 a year in state taxes. So, lets toss out their tax revenue and put these people out of work. madness.

““Where will it end?” she asked. “Are they going to tell people they can’t smoke on the streets?” “

Isn’t that already what the nanny, wet nurse King Bloomberg is trying to inflict on Manhattan?

Blue state voters put these talentless, anti-production bureaucrats into office. Forget the streets, they are after outlawing it in your own home.

This smoking thing is nothing but legal prohibition...with a heavy tax scheme attached.

The proposed rules seek to ban tobacco sales on college campuses and in drug stores, too.

If only they took the same concern about the use of cocaine, pot, LSD, ecstasy, etc. on college campuses.

I know it's not in the Constitution, just the Declaration of Independence (and who the heck cares about that old thing?) but the notion of "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" used to have some value for Americans.

For some, the pursuit of happiness may be opening up a small business (perhaps a cigar bar) and making a living doing what you love. For others, the pursuit of happiness may be visiting a small business (perhaps a cigar bar) and spending time with friends doing what you love.

Here in America, we frown on that sort of behavior. The New Puritans are stamping out your pursuit of happiness.

Another pathetic extension of the misguided WO(S)D.

I’m ashamed I ever thought the WO(S)D, but those days ended 15 years ago.

“They” know they can put their greasy little mitts into every aspect of your life, and they’re just dying to prove it.

[AbeKrieger]

Amazing, in a state where they legalize and honor unions that are so risky even the Red Cross tells you they no longer want your blood. Sickening.

While critics say the move goes too far, Roger Swartz, director of the health commission’s community initiatives bureau, said the new rules are intended to protect people from the ills of tobacco, in all its forms.

This guy needs his ass kicked.
And a cigar put out in the middle of his forehead.

In honor of this stupid law...I think I will order some Cu*Avana's...

the new rules are intended to protect people from the ills of tobacco, in all its forms.

Small problem: statistically men who smoke cigars and pipes live slightly longer than men who don't. Cigars aren't healthy but neither is drinking Coca-cola. The smoking Nazi's are socialist control freaks.

This should be treated like the Supreme Court treats serious complaints of unconstitutional acts.

They don’t listen to your complaint if they don’t consider you have yet been harmed by the act.

[swarthyguy]

Good. Tobacco is EVIL.

Why should cigar smokers get a break when we have enforce health ordnances on all other bars and nightclubs.

Never mind the pivotal role of tabak in the founding of America and Jamestown and it’s depiction on the foundation stone of the US Capitol.

Shut ‘em down. Good for Boston.

Marry a Fag, don’t smoke one.

Inshallah.
