Here is a thumbs-down to the Smokefree D.C. do-gooders and the D.C. Council, which voted 11-1 in favor of a smoking ban that begins next year.
I am thinking of starting a Do-Gooder-free D.C. because of the scientifically proven study that shows freedom-hating do-gooders cause high blood pressure in others.
There is nothing like a smug, arrogant, condescending know-it-all to get the eyes rolling up in the back of your head. The city, unfortunately, is awash in this character type.
These self-important nitwits seem to think they know what is best for the masses and then pat themselves on the head after they have achieved their mission.
"It is a great day for everyone who works in or patronizes a bar or restaurant in the District of Columbia," said one of the co-founders of the nut-job group after 11 morally superior council members imposed legislation that mocks the celebrated individual liberties of a nation.
Sorry. It did not come across as a great day. It came across as just another amusing day in the bluest of blue precincts.
Really, I would prefer to have a Carbon Monoxide-Free D.C.
Or a Rat-Free D.C.
Or a Gang-Free D.C.
Or a Lead-Free D.C.
Or a Cholesterol-Free D.C.
Or a Body Odor-Free D.C.
Or an Ice Cream-Free D.C.
Or a Starbucks-Free D.C.
I can think of all kinds of practices and things that could be eliminated before I would be concerned with a smoky bar stuffed with drunks at midnight.
I would argue it is the right of the smoking town drunk to be a smoking town drunk, just as it is the right of servers to work in an establishment that caters to smoking town drunks.

FWIW, all the restaurants I have been in here in SE Michigan have smoking sections which successfully accomodate smokers with excellent ventilation systems. I have NEVER been able to detect smoke in the non smoking sections.
But yet you Fers are never satisfied. Got news for you sport, your favorite bar that ultimately succumbs to a smoking ban will be destined to going out of business.
For some reason I suspect that you really don't care because it doesn't concern you. You will merely try to find another bar to drop into once in a while not really giving a ratsass for the neighborhood bars that will also go out of business and that you would never ever think of dropping into.
Kinda like Democraps and their love of flyover country.........Not!
Stop spamming the thread.
Doesn't matter to them, they rarely if ever go to bars and restaurants,
The Anti-smoking Gnatzies like all other Liberals (and that includes the ones that show up here) are in general just miserable little people with miserable little lives, they don't go to restaurants or especially bars because people in there are having fun, and fun is one of the last things they are capable of.
And none are ever repealed.

Go away troll.
Why is it that you support enlisting government agents to act on your behalf to initiate harm/force against innocent people that are minding their own business and have harmed no one?
Is it just that you are ignorant or that you are a parasite? You chose.
Yes, but I can dream...can't I? LOL
Thanks for the ping!
I wish all users of smoke producing substances peace - in privacy.
You mean like a privately owned restaurant or bar?
This has very little to do with smoking, but a freat deal to do with control. There are people out there who think they should be able to tell others how they should live their lives.
It never ends, does it? These people can't see the truth if it hopped naked alongside the bed with them.
If smoking is so bad, then why isn't the sale and manufacture of it is banned?
If smoking is really as bad as the MSM/liberals/pseudo-FReepers say it is, then the product should be pulled off the market.
Why do people want to ban smoking in places where they don't go?
I don't think that would be practical or safe going by the smoker's rage on these threads.
I just found out tonight that my brother and his wife both started rolling their own cigarettes. That's the good news.
When I went to my tobacco store yesterday, the owner told me that some asswipe politico in Ohio has introduced a bill to ban smoking in your car. Don't know if he's trying the "for the children" route or the "distraction" (like cell phones) angle. They really want this state to fall bad.
Therefore, while I used to sympathize with them, as long as my vote counts for anything, marijuana will NEVER be legal in my lifetime.
And they'll NEVER get my vote, to legalize pot, either; for the same reason.
Good. There are MANY rabid-(tobacco)smoker haters on FR who at the same time, think it's great to smoke dope, snort coke, whatever. They don't seem to realize they're losing more support for their cause every day by their attitude toward cig.cigar, or pipe smokers. I haven't met a tobacco user in the last ten years who's for the legalization of any other drug. And the more they crack down on us, the more that attitude's going to grow. They're slitting their own throats & the fools don't even realize it.
Otherwise, they alienate everyone they come in contact with.
*most often, the weird reason is because the female is having or trying to have a cyber relationship with one or the other in this ever dwindling group; or it's a loner, who is trying to find a friend and anyone will do.
