...to allow smoking once again in bars, clubs and taverns that install state-of-the-art air filtration systems...since the air filtration devices will only be approved by the State if they meet very strict Health Department standards for clean air.

So let me get this straight...bar/tavern owners have their private property rights taken away by the state, lose money and patronage, and now are expected to spend even more money to bring themselves inline with the "strict Health Department standards"...and you're ok with this? Sheesh...why not just offer to rip off your arm and let them beat you over the head with it, too.

NO! I am not okay with any more demands by the state, just a few short years ago they were forced to build seperate rooms for smokers with their own ventilation systems.

Everything was working great, actually alot of restaurants had filled to capacity smoking areas and waiting lines while the non smoking sections had places available.

Bar and Restaurant owners will do what ever they can to save their business, while this ban is in place they do what they have to do to survive.

The anti smoking nazi's have the legislators in their back pocket, as do the health dept nazi's, they will demand and demand anything they want. If the restaurants and bars want to survive they have no choice but to comply untill this law is overturned.

We the People must start to yell from the roof tops, Judges cannot legislate from the bench and legislators must stop infringing on our rights as smokers and business owners.

This is not Moscow!
