And then went into an anti-smoker tirade and on and on about how some bar and restaurant owners claim to be hurting because of the ban and tempers tend to fly over smoking issues.

And never retracted a word of what he said.

Total baloney. I was watching at the time, and he said nothing of the sort.

Look, I too am opposed to the stupid smoking bans and unfair demonization of smokers, but you actually hurt your cause by exaggerating and similarly unfairly smearing others. About as counterproductive as the dolts who toss their cigarettes butts on the street, sidewalk, grass, etc.

OK, how about I offer a retraction to a portion of my post#643. He did discuss the issue of the smoking ban, as you stated. I should have been clear that what I take issue with you about was the characterization of his discussion as an "anti-smoking tirade".
