Blowing Smoke

Finally, a bill we can support.

SB 372 would revise the state’s smoking ban “to allow for smoking in bars that serve food as long as minors are restricted from entry.” In addition, “businesses could wall off separately ventilated smoking rooms.”

Personally, I think the smoking bans should be struck down by the courts as a violation of the proprietor’s private property rights, but since that ain’t gonna happen anytime soon, these common sense tweaks to the existing stupid law will just have to do.

Could any Republican legislator possibly not support this bill? Oh, geez, why did I ask?
