The PTown boys are starting to fight back.

"The majority of people tend to feel that is punishing the wrong people," Myhrum said.

So much for their diversity, acceptance, and compassion... if you're a *smoker* you deserve punishment.  The "gig is up"  with these people!  Creeps.

If PTown allows smoking again then the whole cape opens up again. The Boards of Health have been harping on the "even playing field" BS.

"Many of us wear many different hats and I don't think any of our actions should be held against whomever or whatever we work for," Baker said. "Would that be the norm, you wouldn't find anyone willing to step forward."

I smoke, I vote and being a good republican I donate to worthwhile causes but not to smoking nazis.

"Due to my recent decline in salary since the smoking ban, I regret that I am unable to make a donation at this time," wrote bartender and regular donor Michael Pickens.

Holy COW! This is NEWS!!!!!! THANKS, OZONE!

Mark Brown, smoking Nazi, wants to deprive AIDS patients of the legal right to smoke cigarettes.

That is about as cruel as it gets.

ozone, the head of the Mental Hospital in southern Maine has forbidden the patients from smoking. Can you believe the cruelty of human beings? It's mind boggling.

[Mears]

I love it!!1 It made my day! What a great idea,I will use that strategy in the future.

"The thing that troubles and concerns me is that something I've been a part of in another facet of my living in Provincetown has had an impact on the clients and staff," Baker said. "I think it's reprehensible."

What they think is reprehensible is that his desire to control and manipulate others has impacted their lives and their standard of living. They are voting with their money.

[Publius6961]

What a radical concept!
Decisions... consequences...

These controlling twits have no notion of compromise and accomodation.
Ever see them argue why all bars and restaurants need to be non-smoking?

No sympathy here.

"The head of the Mental Hospital in southern Maine has forbidden the patients from smoking."

Oh! No! It will drive them crazy!

[SheLion]

Oh! No! It will drive them crazy!

I guess he wants to pump them full of drugs, instead.

"Due to my recent decline in salary since the smoking ban, I regret that I am unable to make a donation at this time," wrote bartender and regular donor Michael Pickens.


Due to the huge increase in taxes on my cigars. I now do not donate to any charity or political group that endorsed them. To Hel- with there tax deduction.

[Great Dane]

About time somebody has a change to fight back.

Guess they still don't know that Aids is as preventable as smoking related diseases.
