We were in minneapolis on saturday and I would say the bars were busier than I have ever seen. Lots of people out smoking on the streets. The best thing was when I got in the shower the next morning. No nasty smoke smell coming from you hair. My clothes did not smell terrible. I think it was a great idea for them to go smoke free.

db21 So your doing the books? And rebute the reports of the actual bar owners? What Bar do you own? It isn't about smoking or non smoking it is about property owners rights.

You see?
There's the real deal. It wasn't a health hazard so much as it was a stinky situation for the diminishing ranks of the middle class.
I think the whole thing stinks, figuratively speaking, and this from someone who's a little fed up with all this government involvement in our lives, and at a time where I'm giving up the evil things.
Market forces should have decided this, anonymous newbie, whoever you are. This no-smoking thing might work for The Fine Line, but I'll bet it's trouble for some of the more neighborhood-esque dives up here...

WILLMAR, Minn. (AP) - Former Minneapolis FBI agent Coleen Rowley says the Patriot Act is useful, but it needs a system to combat infringements on civil liberties.
Rowley spoke last night at an event sponsored by the Willmar League of Women Voters.
She compared today's fear of terrorism to "Red Scare" of the 1950s.
Rowley says some proposed bills on Capitol Hill would address issues in the Patriot Act. One of them -- the SAFE act -- would put limits on searches done by intelligence agencies.
Rowley gained attention in 2002 when she criticized the government's pre-September eleventh counterterrorism efforts. For her whistleblowing, Time magazine named her one of its Persons of the Year in 2002.

I do have to agree, people's right are being ripped away one at a time, but really, this whole "non-smoking issue is getting old. I would also have to agree with db21, it would be nice arriving home, and not having to hang your jacket outside, and take a shower before you hit the bed.

The radio statio I listen to has been playing a PSA for the past 2 days now stating that 30 min in a smoke filled room will cause you to have a heart attack, blood clots and one other thing.
If this is true I expect within the next day or so I will be keeling over or hospitalized. If no one hears from me again you know what happened.
