Here we go again! 1999 - no smoking in restaurants. Now our Leaders (?) are imposing their no smoking policy on ALL business's come September. As if the economy in Maine isn't bad enough, they are still chipping away.

I wonder if any of the bars and restaurants will band together and sue the state for restraint of trade. It wouldn't surprise me. With the passage of this law, they're probably just about shut down anyway.
To: SheLion
This is going to be a business killer. It gets mighty cold in Maine and customers will stay home rather than smoke outside.

Next year the legislature will wonder why revenue from cigarette taxes is down.

I quit smoking 15 years ago and hate the smell of the stuff, BUT:
How can you possibly (in a bar) get drunk, wet yourself, hit on women, be loud and obnoxious, start a fight, fall down etc. without smoking??
It just ain't natural!
Seriously, they'd have to close the joints.

On Thursday, I went to a bar here in NJ where I could watch a bit of the US Open at lunch. I go in there to catch a bit of the opening rounds whenever there is a major golf championship. They had already poured a nice Pilsner Urquell and I had ordered lunch. I lit my Punch. They turned up the volume a bit for me as I am accustomed.
Then the owner came over. We've talked about the courses and players in the past. But this year he came over to tell me that cigar smoking was no longer allowed at lunch. He told me about all the new laws. I pointed out that those were in NY, not NJ, and he must surely know that I regularly came in there, and that I always would have a cigar when I did.
I asked him if I could finish the cigar I started. He told me that if anyone objected to the smoke I would have to put it out. I left my Pilsner Urquell and walked out. I won't be back.

Let me guess:
There are no tax reform bills on the agenda, but there WAS a now-passed smoking ban bill - which we can safely assume levees fines against 'offenders' because the socialist Maine government needs a way to pay for all the Somalies they keep bringing in as well as that wonderful Universal Health care bill I heard about?

"One of the consequences of term limits is the tremendous number of freshman representatives who are sometimes at the mercy of lobbyists because the lobbyists are the individuals who know the most about certain subjects."
This has to be about the dumbest things I've heard in describing term limits. Legislating isn't rocket science.

I had a friend in the USAF David Vandine. He was from Maine and I went there with him in 74. Maine was like a cold Alabama with lobster back then. Now it has turned into pile of crap. Get out because either the Canadians or the commies have taken over. Maine, rest in peace.

While I despise people smoking in closed public quarters like restaurants, it is certainly to be expected in bars and taverns and horse tracks, etc., by
any stretch of the imagination...
The larger question still looms: Just what the h*ll are these busy-body over-officious b@stards of government doing interfering with private, legal>/i> businesses??

The test continues and the people continue to fail;
how many rights will be taken/usurped by Government, before the populace, like the slowly cooked frog; is cooked?
