They just passed the no smoking law here and on top of it, added another cigarette tax to support the arts.
I am happy to support the arts but not with another cigarette tax. It's absurd. The verbage is so vague, they can't enforce the law yet. I haven't seen any smoking in restaurants but every bar I have been in immediately put thier ashtrays back out as soon as they found out they can't enforce it. Supposedly in June they will start fining. Every public place including churches has a big ugly sign with a toll free number to turn in violaters. Gestapo tactics as far as I'm concerned. Even veterans can't smoke in thier own private clubs.
