Smoking Log

I like the name of this log The Smoking Log. It sounds like a novel.
Enter comments about smoking (good, bad or indifferent) here.

 Jim  Question 5 passes - Smoking is banned
Free Enterprises has just suffered another blow.
Question 5 had some interesting implications to it.
Click here to read the legislation
Smoking will be allowed for:
- Casinos where minors are prohibited.
-Bars that don't serve food.
- Strip clubs and brothels.
- Retail tobacco stores.
- Private residences.
Smoking will be banned in:
- casinos where minors are allowed to loiter...almost all casinos
- bars that serve food...almost all bars
- In all public places
That sounds like it means everywhere.
This question was funded by the American Cancer Society.
Questions:
Can minors loiter in casinos?
Doesn't serving food at bars slow the intoxication rate?
The Health Department recomends eating for social drinkers. Is this a bad idea?
The Blue Ox says it has to serve food to satisify zoning requirements as a supper club.
Almost all its customers are smokers.
Its been open for over 20 years now.
PT's Pub and The Copper Keg are in the same bind.
Why are Strip Clubs and brothels excluded from the ban?
I've noticed you can smoke in Indian casinos.
Here's an interesting article on businesses effected by bans: Business ruined by smoking bans
It has been said that 25% of Americans and 40% of casino players are smokers
I think tobacco sales should just be banned, period.
However, it seems that no state has the balls to do that.
Why pussy foot around the subject?
We all know that's where we're headed.
