This would have been SO much better if hadn’t reference the smoking ban...as if smokers quit eating out. Geez...

As an Ohioan (and a non-smoker) I have to tell you that the smoking ban really has done harm to businesses here. Especially anyplace that serves alcohol.

Just out of curiosity, are there any studies that show this? I mean, NC — supposedly the tobacco capital of the world — banned smoking several years ago and nobody seemed to notice.

Regardless, my point was, to be able to point to Obama — and ONLY Obama — would be better than pointing to Obama and ANYthing else.

So would that make you an Ohioan and a drinker?
