I'm still trying to find anyone who has died from "secondhand smoke" in restaurants, bars, etc.

This aint just a Florida problem. Healthfascists deserve a taste of their own medicine. I recommend sending Bloomburg and Pataki a life sentence in a French cafe for passing a law that is killing business in my neighborhood. Here in New York, we still have "corner bars" where people gather to smoke and shoot the sh-t. Thanks to the liberals/RINOs in question, neighborhood institutions that have lasted for decades have closed or are on the verge of closing.

Shouldn't nanny-statists like you be on DU?

That's what "I" was thinking! The DU Forum would be better fitting for him.

This has been my argument from the beginning, Clemenza. These people are promulgating rules and regs for neighborhood bars and workingmans bars and biker bars that they will never set foot in in their entire health obsessed lives.

I've been drinking in bars for 45 years. I don't like fern bars and most of the people in fern bars wouldn't like me. I like drinking in the working places where you can meet the people who keep things running, the folks with dirt under their nails.
