The smoking ban craze is coming to Virginia; link

There are enough places that allow cigarette smoking but not cigars, this will eliminate both!

This ban craze is getting nuts. I don't smoke my cigars in public places other than the occasional B&M, but this even pisses me off. My apologies to VA folk.

This is very suprising as Virginia is a tobacco state.

Thank God I never go out to smoke!

But that shouldn't stop you from taking action and helping your brothers in your state out! :wink:

Is nothing sacred???

I hope Kentucky does not start this shit any more than they already do.

I can see it now..."Kentucky, the home of Jack Daniels, bans public consumption of whiskey" :rofl:

Ironically, several distilleries in Kentucky are actually located in dry counties. Can't even consume their own product legally where it's made!

"The problem is, I want to have smoke-free restaurants and businesses. But in America, you don't pass a law to tell a private business owner who is paying rent or mortgage payments what he can and can't do in his own place," said Del. David B. Albo (R-Fairfax).

DAMN STRAIGHT!!!! If I own a business and the building it's in, I expect have a little say so as to what happens there.

Exactly! A lot of people think this is just a second hand smoke issue...but their is a lot more to it.

Guys...if you are in VA don't be afraid to e-mail the Delagates mentioned in the article and thank them for killing this bill.
