I'm a smoker too so I feel your pain.

Actually, I optimistic. I think that people will get fed up with this nanny state nonsense and there will be a backlash against these busybody's health Nazis who like to tell everyone how to live their lives.

The process over the last 50 years has been higher taxes and more and more bans and there has been no backlash. In fact, the backlash is that smokers no longer want to tolerate rooms full of smoke just so that a smoker can avoid the discomfort of his addiction.

I hope you're right.

I'm really and truly over this crapola.

We moved to Virginia not long after the total ban went into effect in Delaware, but were there long enough to see the hurt it put on the small businesses. Heck, we were part of the hurt, we just drove an extra 5 miles across the state line to Maryland on Friday afternoons.
