Ah, if you only knew just how bad it was in Mass. They REFUSE to listen to the fact that bars with smoking are more busy then those without.

You could bring them to this place before it was temporarily lifted and then bring them across the border and they would quote some bizarre statistics and keep on holding on to thier assumptions.

Deep in thier minds, they would be thinking of a way to make NH bars smoke-free.

In North Reading, most of the bars are not smoke-free and all the towns around them have people flock there on weekends to party. The citizens of North Reading voted AGAINST making smoking illegal but now a state health worker is trying to override municipal law because of "safety-reasons".

Well, these are PRIVATE areas of Business and the damn state has NO right to decide anything about this matter. It is truly sad that these people are being browbeaten... it makes me mad.

Ah, but I do. I lived the first 53 years of my life in Eastern Massachusetts, with a couple of time outs for school and work in Cailifornistan.

Born in Boston City Hospital in '44, went to grammar school at the Thomas Gardener School in Alston, Mother was from Haverhill so I ended up going to Haverhill High, bought a house on the Cape in '69 and lived there until the Big Escape in '97, when the bride and I absconded to Maine.

Haverhill? I even know these guys in the article and still have people there. One of my cousins is the fire chief.
