Suggested by “Richard Blumenthal D-CT” ....the CT AG and Senator who ran as a Vietnam Vet who “forgot” he wasn’t really in Vietnam. The media kindly left the disclosure on this up to McMahon and youtube. It was never disclosed by the consolidated media as it should have been.

While I hate smoking and I haven’t since military basic in 1967, I hate seeing nanny state regulations and laws. That said, I do enjoy the no smoking in restaurants. So maybe I’m a hypocrite.

My problem is that there was never any law preventing people from opening exclusively non smoking restaurants.

...you’re not a hypocrite...the no smoking in restaurants and bars is a great step forward...

...much as I dislike being around smoke, I hate the idea of nannyism even more...so I laugh at anyone proposing a smoking ban on outdoor areas such as decks and parks...

I've never smoked...possibly because both my parents smoked like chimneys when I was a kid and I wondered,early on,about the logic of smoking.Although I have opinions on the general subject I'm not a militant anti-smoker.On the subject of smoking in the military I think an argument can be made that banning it would,in time,improve mission readiness.
