Smoking in bars and resturants

A huge Mr. Grumpy changes his mind issue...

At first, this seemed like a personal space/freedom issue. Gosh, do the non-smokers have to control not only their lives, but everyone's lives? Perhaps smoking is terribly dangerous to everyone (passive smokers included). But, does this mean that the city needs to legislate (force) bar/restaurant owners to follow their dictates? Can't we all just get along??

Well, no....

Bloomington passed a no-smoking ordinance and the world (our small portion of it) is a better place. I can go to bars and restaurants where I simply would not go before because the outing/celebration was spoiled by the atmosphere.

Have a beer and some onion rings at Nick's on a Friday night. And, you don't come home smelling like the Marlboro Man.

Personal freedom issue...nope, personal hygiene...
