Long downhill slide, guys, aided and abetted by the politically correct media. Just look at the first graph here and consider the words used: a battle between "Big Tobacco" and "health groups." Now, isn't that crafted to give the impression that eeevviiiiiil BT, with all the money in the world, will be taking on the guys in white coats whose only thought in the world is to HELP folks? Problem is, too few of us know that's bullshite. The anti-cartel is the biggest, nastiest, wealthiest, freedom-hatingest bunch that has ever been. And this battle isn't between them and BT--BT has already been emasculated and is on its knees. It's between the nannies and the smokers. Period.

I'm having a bit o'trouble finding the 'puff list,' how 'bout you?

Have any of these smoking bans gone to the SCOTUS? My god, if I lived near the interstate or the airport, would they protect my air? If I go the park and someone is burning charcoal are they going to outlaw that? Big Tobacco has been doing an organized retreat in the hopes that these nannies get enough and leave them alone. Bad choice.

Guess they still haven't noticed that their income comes solely from tourism, I almost hope they win, just to prove a point.

But the justices said most voters are astute enough to realize that people ``work in places such as restaurants.''

In FloriDUH?
The place where they can't even punch a hole in the card?
