"He runs a public place..."

No, he doesn't. He runs a privately owned restaurant. He *owns* it. Don't like it? Don't go there. Sounds like Mike has a pretty good grasp on reality, unlike an ever increasing number of citizens in this country.

FYI, it was the NAZIS who laid the groundwork for nationwide anti-smoking initiatives. Der Fuehrer, it will be recalled, was a homosexual vegetarian non-smoking teetotaling socialist. So we know who the fascists really are in all this. Good try, though!

"Der Fuehrer, it will be recalled, was a homosexual vegetarian non-smoking teetotaling socialist."

I did not know that...

Some psychiatrists have theorized that some of those who "smoke" are subconsciously substituting that cigarette or cigar orally for "something else."

It's amazing what conclusions one may draw from the smoking issue -- ain't it??....
