French Smoking Ban Goes Into Effect

[jiaguy]

Any cafe, bar restaurant that lets me smoke a cigar while hanging out deserves my repeat business. There are quite a few here for being a outlandishly liberal town.

Smoking policies at private establishments should be just that, policies, not laws. Everyone has a choice as to which businesses to patronize.....consumers vote with their wallets, and that is all that is necessary. Any law thats purpose is to protect me from myself.....is idiotic, imho.

I just hope the same type of bans don't happen in Baltimore (they have already been implemented in the county where I live). More than likely the ban will happen but at bars? Thats BS. Who goes to a bar for health reasons? You go there to get a few drinks and maybe get lucky. Its not a damn gym. And it sucks to smoke outside when its 10 degrees.

As long as they don't ban smoking at the local B&M I'm ok. I hate cigarette smoke but a cigar smoke filled room...Well lets just say that's where I'm in my element.

I do enjoy going to a cigar friendly resturant...Like The Stockyard in Nashville.

Up here in Edmonton Alberta Canada we cant smoke any where a resturant ,bar or B&M and it is pretty cold out right now. This really sucks but the wife likes it because it got my ass in gear and built the deck last summer.
