I can't tell you how sweet it was to not only be able to enjoy myself without breathing clouds of smoke, but have the added perk that I didn't need to rush into the shower as soon as I got home, to wash out the smell of smoke from my hair. I hate going to bed smelling like smoke.</p>
<p>It's so annoying to hear the same excuses from many towns/cities business owners complaining that if there is a smoking ban, then they would lose a lot of business, because customers will just go elsewhere. If New York has the balls to do it, then these other cities/counties should look at NY as a great example how people aren't running to Connecticut and NJ because they can find bars/restaurants where they can smoke.</p>Avigayil commented on 'A workable solution... perhaps'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e550526e1488342007-10-16T12:30:44Z2008-02-14T04:53:09ZAvigayilhttp://news.msn.co.il/news/Internal/Health/200710/20071016133200.htm Check that out...<p>http://news.msn.co.il/news/Internal/Health/200710/20071016133200.htm</p>

<p>Not a peep? Not even a puff? <br />
Camel got your tongue?</p>
<p>By the way, it strikes me that the Israeli climate would be perfect for growing a nice small-leaf Oriental, rich with fragrant resins. The soil in the hill country is probably perfect too.</p>
<p>Even the Golan. Imagine a nice pipe blend based on Syrian Latakia (40%), Turkish Smyrna (10%), a melange of Virginias (25%), some Perique (5%), and a leavening of "Shaar-e Golan (20%). Ooooh, my my waters already. Make it so, Cap'n.</p>

<p>It's kinda like the carding thing here in the States. In the old days, many storekeepers probably felt like jerks for withholding beers & smokes from minors. Now, they have the perfect excuse - "The Man". They can say, "Hey, if I'm caught selling to you JD's, I'm in the cell next to yours." Same here with the smoking police - "I don't want to get fined." You may be on to something.</p>Back of the Hill commented on 'A workable solution... perhaps'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5503edf4888332007-10-12T01:51:23Z2008-02-14T04:52:19ZBack of the Hillhttp://atthebackofthehill.blogspot.com/Tayere Trepp (and others), I have written a post commenting on the issue.

Many of the casinos have installed excellent ventilation systems that do a decent job of cleaning up the air.</p>
<p>All things considered I'd still prefer to see smoking go away.</p>Rahel commented on 'A workable solution... perhaps'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5503edd7488332007-10-11T11:20:00Z2008-02-14T04:52:03ZRahelhttp://profile.typekey.com/Rahel/Of course it would be far better to make the government the "bad guy," putting proprietors and customers on the...<p>Of course it would be far better to make the government the "bad guy," putting proprietors and customers on the same side of the law. But if that doesn't happen -- and so far it hasn't -- then people who want the law enforced have to take matters into their own hands, legally of course, using methods such as lawsuits and boycotts.<br />
