Yup. We are now officially under a smoking ban here in Tupelo. No smoking in any building, no matter what. There are a couple of businesses trying to get around having to obey, but i haven't heard of any progress. Bars, restraunts, bingo halls, and even a dry cleaners. Bums me out because I never got the chance to finish a nice meal off with a cancer log. sigh.
Been that way here in Massachusetts for at least 5 years now. (probably more)
Hasnt happened in virginia yet....but im guessing it probably will here soon
LMAO, you're making my mouth water talking about the home brew you bastid. I'm stuck here at work... sober. :smiley6:Quote:

Colorado went non-smoking in July. I just joined up with the local chapter of the American Legion. Great locals and I can smoke and have a few drinks there, according to Colorado. How are other states handling American Legion halls?
Thankfully we can still smoke in bars here as long as their primary source of revenue is not FOOD... if it is food then it's considered a restaurant not a bar. Unfortunately some places around here have started to not allow pipe or cigar smoking which makes me :smiley38:
There is nothing that pisses me off more than someone smoking a cigarette bitching about my cigar. It's the most hypocritical thing EVER!!!!
Yeah, if there's one thing I just can't stand, it's big brother telling me what I can and can't do. That drives me into a fit of :smiley7:
As for non-smoking laws, how do they lump bars in with restaurants?? There will always be some supposedly goodytwoshoe politicos, "looking out for the common good", when in actuality their intent is to polish their own appearance. If the smoker/non-smoker ratio were reversed, they would be pushing in the opposide direction.
Connecticut's smoking ban does not apply to private clubs that have liquor licenses or to the casinos which are soverign nations.Quote:

As Loudpipes said...In FL it's been like that for about 10 years at least I think.
80% or more of the revenue has to be in beer/liqour sales to allow smoking inside if I am not mistaken.
