When the clock strikes midnight and Nov. 26 is history, the nation's toughest smoking law goes into effect in Delaware.
That means an hour before last call, smokers at such places as Wilmington's Columbus Inn, a cigar-friendly bar and restaurant for almost 50 years, will have to snuff out their stogies or step outside. It means the ashtrays in the office smoking lounge will become obsolete. And it means "Smoking, nonsmoking or first available?" will no longer be a dilemma for Delaware diners.

It's real obvious what certain people in state government in Delawaare think about their own constituents. That's why it's hard to trust any of them, Gabz. They promise you the moon to get your vote, then when we get them into office, some of them stick it to us.

David McBride and Ruth Ann Minner will wish they had never heard of Stanton Glantz or Joe Cherner. A fat Californian and a gay New Yorker will be the downfall of the state of Delaware. Funny how they want THEIR rights, but can't stand the rights of others.

Bill from Nutley - I know exactly what you are saying.
I don't ask to live here any more - I want out and have wanted out for quite some time - just can't do it until I sell my house.

leads me to believe they cherry-picked the data to make the case to support a foregone conculsion. That's SOP for these people.
