Smoking ban hits NC Jan 2
MasterBlaster:
The heart of tobacco in the US has adopted a smoking ban
in similar fashion as other states. I'm surprised that it has come so soon.

This is a free country and every one's opinion is therefore valid.
I am an ex-smoker since Christmas Eve 1991 and am glad to see the public no smoking bans gaining wider acceptance. Am always surprised when down in VA and NC area to walk into a hotel bar or eating place and smell smoke.
Was a 1.5 pack/day smoker before quitting. That is 548 packs a year, at say $5/pack and equals $2737 a year. That is significant audio system upgrade money per annum. ;D

Personally, I am in favor of the ban.
I am opposed to limiting our freedoms up to the extent
that interferes with my own. A smoker has the right to light up.
but the moment they do, it affects everyone around them.
That is the crux of the issue here.
I am all for permits and exceptions to allow establishments to
allow smoking. That is their choice. I just think it should be the exception to the rule.
To me, this levels the playing field for businesses and patrons.
Now on the other hand, places that allow smoking, but ban cigars piss me off!!!!
