A real rebellion would be for everyone to light up inside the bars(assuming it's a bar where the owner wants smoking),all at one time,and see what the heck they could do about it.

Are they going to arrest everyone? Are they going to actually jail everyone?Are they going to institute fines which I certainly would refuse to pay. Are they going to take me to court to collect the fine? I think not. What a waste of police time,court time, and taxpayer money it would be.

If smokers don't do more active protesting this nonsense will continue.

The smoker isn't fined. The bar/restaurant is.

You rabble-rouser you! : )

Is the NY ban tobacco only? I have heard that some of the smoking bans don't cover herbal cigs. If that is the case, an alternate might be for everyone to light those puppies up(they don't have to smoke them(yuk!)), just burn them, and let them deal with that. If they arrest them, slap them hard with false arrest suits. Just another idea to ratchet up the fight for freedom and property rights.

A better rebellion would be to light up in government buildings.

The bad part about this is: some people run up bar bills, then say they are going "outside for a cigarette," and keep booking! Leaving the bar stuck with the tab. This is not working out.
