No, you didn't miss it, but as you may or may not know, all the downstate counties (Westchester, NYC, Nassau, and Suffolk) are all having "talks" to follow in NYC's footsteps, so as to insure that the NYC ban doesn't stand alone, which would, of course be devastating to the restaurant and bar business there.
In fact, one Nassau County (Long Island) Dem actually uttered these charming words: "If you are downstate, the only place you'll be able to smoke is in your own little closet."
I've said it before and I'll say it again: The only law on this matter that should be enacted is this one: ALL BUSINESSES SHALL CLEARLY POST THEIR SMOKING POLICIES AT THE FRONT DOOR OF THEIR ESTABLISHMENT.
I must say, I have been watching and reading these threads, and am utterly shocked and terribly dismayed to see so many so-called Conservatives supporting these kinds of laws. I just don't understand what has happened to us --what changed us from a people who used to make decisions for ourselves into a people who turn to the government to make them for us. I find the whole thing disgusting.

PS: If these smoking bans are such a wonderful and fantabulous idea, why oh why do they need a law to enact them?
