Am against smoking for religious reasons. Your body is the temple of the Lord so don’t abuse it.

However agree with not wanting the Gov. telling us what to do.

[GenXFreedomFighter]

I grew up in Bullitt County. Everybody smoked. There’s no way they’d stand for a smoking ban!

He went on to say, "The people of Bullitt County are entitled to be governed by elected officials and not an administrative agency."

What a novel idea! Too bad we don't have federal courts that understand this.

Especially since we are now being ruled entirely by administrative agencies working as surrogates of Herr Leader.

OMG a judge with a brain and able to think, good for him/her...

This theory of second hand smoke has always been a bother.

The direct research has never existed. It is all “extrapolated” from a multitude of research projects (some somewhat monitored, others done in the basment of anti-tobacco activists).

Ask for the proof, and you’ll get a stammering reply of the sort the global warming alarmists use.

I believe that this calls for a VERY unusual bump of the smokers bump list.

Don't worry folks, it's a once in a blue moon bump.

[KoRn]

A judge with their head on straight, exercising common sense. Indeed, SO RARE these days!

She is missed.

[Gargantua]

Okay, so my body is the Temple.

Call the cigarette my "burnt offering."

Good to see you Joe.

This is a good ruling.

[TigersEye]

He went on to say, "The people of Bullitt County are entitled to be governed by elected officials and not an administrative agency."

Now that is a heartwarming quote coming from a public official especially a judge. Good for him, using his common sense.

[Just another Joe]

Good to see you Joe.

I'm still around, but 65 to 70 hour weeks leave little time for anything else except eating and showering.

[SaraJohnson]

Ban this and ban that. Ban him and ban her...

There’s no way they’d stand for a smoking ban!

A number of years ago there was a community in Florida that had a proposed smoking ban on the ballot. If I remember correctly, only about 47% of the town's people showed up to vote on it and it passed with something like 52% of the total votes cast.

When you look at the real numbers, that means that only about 24% of the total number of registered voters were able to mandate how a private enterprise must conduct business on their own private property..........

That's tyranny by the minority....

[VermiciousKnid]

Excellent! A judge who got it right for once.

Thanks for the ping. I needed some good news this week.
