When the anti-smoker News Urinal quotes a smokers group, you know the antis are feeling the pressure!!!

Must be a shortage of tobacco tax revenue for the pols to use buying re-election votes.

She Lion - your ping list would be greatly appreciated here!!!

The good news is that only 21 votes are needed for passage and of the undecided I can think of at least 5 that will most likely vote with us.

The bad news is that there are going to be upwards of 25 amendments being attempted to be added to it. Tuesday is going to be a VEEEERRRYYYYYYYY LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG day.

"A lot of times, even in restaurants with non-smoking sections, you can smell the smoke. Sometimes it was so bad that we'd turn around and leave as soon as we walked in the door," Cornell said. "It's very nice to be able to go into a restaurant and not be bothered by smoke. Delaware has passed a very forward-thinking law, and I hope it survives."

Of course there is still the sensible option...... let the owner decide, smokers and non, could then be accommodated.

We are dealing with anti-smoking legislation here in the Great State of Oklahoma. It is amazing to me how easily people can be duped into surrendering their property rights. "I don't own a restaurant and I don't smoke so this doesn't affect me" they say. However, the politicians WILL get to something that does affect them and the groundwork has already been laid. The precedent has already been established. They either can't or won't connect the dots.

Stay the course Delaware. Don't give in to the pressure of addicts, or bow to their non sensical 'wisdom'.

I further hope the great state of Oklahoma also prevails, and eliminates all public smoking. Hang tough legislators, and do the right thing, for the (right) people.
