Geo,
If the ban does happen to pass, can we expect a smoking patio to be built in the back of Eddies? Might be the only thing to save it.

Yes GEO, that is a true statement.
Why isn't prostitution legal? Isn't what 2 consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home their own business? Why is smoking marijuana illegal? If you do so in your own home, why is that the gov't's business? There are plenty of laws that the gov't has which do infringe on civil rights but I don't think a smoking bad would be considered one of them.
When you smoke in public places, that does effect others. Despite what you believe, second hand smoke is harmful.
Sooner or later, you will see this ban happen. It will probably happen at a statewide or national level but it is going to happen someday. I would say you will see it in your lifetime but that is debatable if you smoke, chances are you may not live long enough to see it happen.  About 20-25 years ago, you could smoke anywhere, the workplace, airplanes, etc. Looking back, it is crazy to think that was tolerated. 20 years from now, when smoking is banned in places of business, most people will look back and won't be able to imagine life any other way.

I think we're really on to something. This exposes a deep sickness in America...an embarrassment. Here we say drugs are the worst thing you can do and prove it with mandatory minimum drug sentences that are exploding the prison industry and at the same time forcing the realease of millions of violent career criminals, while at the same time giving probation to people who use a pipe to crush anothers skull.
Of course taking drugs is worse than that...right?
People like Geo would like you to believe that, while at the same time fighting vigorously for the right to do the one of the most addictive and toxic substances, in public no less!
Europe and many civilized countries are not twisted in this way. This country is sick, but that will change...
It'll change because... even though I'm getting old...I can see that many younger people have been listening... and they're not weird and sick like their parents generation. I'm just ahead of my time. Most people will live like me in the future, where I'll be known as the father of coolness.

Couldn't agree with you more.

LOL, I never thought of that. He's been calling me names several times a day lately! Mostly idiot, not very original... I thought weed helped people's imagination, time to step up to acid so you can think of something better minnow.
Now that you mention it though, reminds me of elementary school when girls would say I was cute, and then run up and kick me.

I talked to a gent the other day from S. Georgia(can't remember the city said it was by the Florida line), and we got on the subject of smoking bans. He said the city he lives in passed a smoking ban in public places and some parks and stuff, and now the council is repealing the ordinance, why? Lost revenue thats why, the city was loosing a bunch of cash everyday, as people went to a nearby city that allowed smoking in BARS, and Resturants.
Also a bud of mine from NYC, told me that clubs and bars have private back rooms for regular customers that wish to smoke, despite the ban on smoking, just like the days of prohibition secret rooms are being constructed, and for every one that gets busted, a dozen more takes its place. Most bar owners in NYC are fed up with Gov't intrusion into their lives and their private property, so civil dis-obedience is their course of action right now, basically givin' the finger to Gov't.
As for a nation wide smoking ban, pfffst don't count on it, the Federale's make way too much money to allow that to happen.
Prohibition didn't work back then, and smoking bans won't work now, people will always do what they want, the more Gov't harps on something, the more the people will flip em off.
Remember they ain't the boss of us, we own them.

It's not prohibition. It's just saying that drug addicts can't do their drugs, indoors in public spaces where it effects other non drug addicts. That's not prohibition, that's just common courtesy.
Prohibition is when you insist kids do 10-20 years in jail for drugs, while fighting for the right to do your drugs in public.
That's prohibition!
