Dear God.

OCEAN CITY -- For the third straight year lawmakers in the Maryland General Assembly have introduced legislation to ban smoking in bars and restaurants and establishment owners -- and legislators -- say chances of it becoming law are high this year.

......

"I have a good feeling about this year," said Frush, who has sponsored similar bills in past sessions. "It needs to get out of committee first and the chairman is not quite sure there yet, but he knows it's the right thing to do and knows he should do it."

"I think as we come out with more statistics on the health disabilities of being in a smoke-filled room, it becomes obvious what we need to do," Frush said. "As someone who is charged with the protection of the health and welfare of our people, I just can't see not doing something."


Shouldn't it be the resturant owner's desicion?!? If people dont want to be in a smoky bar...then just don't fucking go there you moron!

Arn't there more important things to worry about? Soon they'll be saying we arn't allowed to smoke in our own homes. Now I'm sorry I've been addicted to cancer sticks since I was 15, but for fucks sake, thats my shtick not yours.

So back off of my little cornor bar and shit food house, and don't ban smoking, when the city needs a drag the most.

Let's see now, 23% of the population smokes. So those 23% get to make all the restaurants stinky and uninhabitable for the rest of us. Also, secondhand smoke is a huge health hazard to everyone.

If you want to smoke so bad, go ahead. But don't screw things up for the rest of us.
