September 11th

By signing Pennsylvania's "Clean Indoor Air Act" bill yesterday,
Governor Rendell added Pennsylvania to the list of states and
commonwealths where indoor public smoking is banned. Pennsylvania's new
indoor public smoking ban begins on September 11th, 90 days from now!

Here's a story about it ...

http :// www .bizjournals,com /pittsburgh/stories/2008/06/09/daily43.html

So much for Robert's claim that the anti-smoking movement is dying off!
Rest assured you nicotine addicts, the anti-smoking movement is alive
and well, even if so called "big pharma" has lost interest in it.

For nicotine addicts who live in the eastern part of PA, they won't be
able to pursue their stinky habit across a state border because NY, DE,
and NJ have already banned indoor public smoking. I don't recall if PA's
other border states such as Ohio and Maryland have banned indoor public
smoking yet.

I wonder which state will be next to ban indoor public smoking. We
anti-smokers have much to be happy about! Fortunately, for you nicotine
addict, there are better and more effective therapies becoming available
to help kick your nicotine habit.

Ah! Life is good!

Oh cool! According to schizo nizo's bogus statistics, I am up to an even
41200 Usenet postings, not counting these two! Be that as it may, Sept.
11th will be a great day this year for Pennsylvanians (including
nicotine addicts)! I can't wait to go out to lunch with a few friends at
a bar in Paoli on Sept. 15th where we had previously stopped going
because it was too smoky.

They have. Ohio on May 3 and Maryland on Feb 1.

Michigan or North Carolina.

West Virginia is a fast 30 miles from Pittsburgh.

Only the most degraded addict would waste that much
time and gas to fix indoors or even entertain the idea.

A better bet is Virginia (but not Northern Virginia). West Virginia
does not have a statewide ban but all counties have some
sort of regulation--most very strong, some exclude bars, others weak.

From Maine to Maryland and Maine to Ohio, it will be all smokefree
dining. Indiana is an ashtray squeezed between the northeast
states on the one side and Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota on
the other.

There are even inroads in the South. Most of the bans are
weak but what would you expect from them? We're lucky there
are any at all. In the West, after Oregon's law kicks in,
it's only Wyoming (The Dakotas could strengthen).

That leaves the Great Plains but Nebraska and Iowa
have joined the sane world. Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas could
be soon. That leaves Missouri. Maybe they should fence
their borders and herd the country's smokers in.
Make the state one big Brandon.

People commute from Weirton WV to Pittsburgh. Housing is cheap there.

We knew antis could not do math. Now we see they're geographically challenged as well.
From the westernmost city in Indiana, Gary, to the nearest city in Minnesota, Rochester,
is 400 miles. Between them is Wisconsin, which is FULL of smoking bars.

Michigan, north of Indiana, also has smoke filled bars, but I wouldn't recommend anyone go
there. Kentucky, south of Indiana, would be a better choice.

Typical patronizing yankee attitude.

Nevada and Idaho permit smoking in bars.

No they haven't, they capitulated to outside forces.

You can have Kansas, but nobody messes with God's Country.

Branson, the hillbilly version of Las Vegas, without casinos (yet). Yankees think
hillbillies live in West Virginia or Kentucky. They actually live in Missouri, because
that's where the Ozarks are. A small part of the Ozarks are in Northern Arkansas, home of
Wal-Mart, the world's largest public company and private employer. Also, Tyson, the
world's largesst meat company, and J. B. Hunt, the biggest US trucking company. Pretty
stupid, huh?

The world knows antis cannot do third grade arithmetic, evidenced by their postings here.
No amount of bluster or name calling can hide the facts, which are in the archives.

Really? Your buddy Schizo Nizo can't even count up to two, nor does his
grasp the vaguest idea of why his google statistics make no sense. Be
that as it may, what's more important is that we prevail in the
remaining state houses where indoor public smoking is still legal. In
that arena, you pro-nicotine addicts are not doing well at all.

LOL! The BIG N gotta be lovin' how he gets under the skin of Twinkie-
boy. Here's a simple candy-ass with thousands of troll-droppings on
hundreds of newsgroups who needs to refer to The BIG N, out of
nowhere, to attempt to make his feeble point.

Pssst. . . twinkie-boy. . . . non sequitur??

Too much of The BIG N on your mind, junk-food addict. Relax . . . have
a twinkie and a soda. LOL! Whadda schlepp.

Commute to work, yes. Drive that far in order to smoke
in a restaurant? Not likely. Unless you're a badly, strung-out addict
with more time and money than brains.
