There is a bright side. The addicted can just cross over/under the river and gamble in Detoilet, they need the jobs.

Toronto and Mississauga will be hit the hardest. I know I vacationed in Toronto back in August of 2004. Lots of smokers then.

I went to an Indian casino in California that allows smoking. They offered a non-smoking section which was surrounded by smokers less than 10 feet away. I exercised my right to not breath second-hand smoke and never returned. I go to Vegas where I can always find a no-smoking casino.

(Check my page for current temp!) Your thermometer must be broke but since it's it's 112 in Rancho Cucamonga it must be 120 there.

The Mall of America in Mn. Shutdown all the bars and restaurants on the 4th floor due to a ban. Only Hooters remains.~sigh
Well, Hooters is a big chain. They can afford the loss of revenue. That's the problem with these bans. Only the smaller business suffer. Your big chains could care less.
They are probably glad about this. They think this will just give them more business! :(

The American dollar doesn't go as far in Canada as it used to. I know that place on Riverfront Drive. The best thing about Windsor is the Detroit skyline view. Awesome!

I'm too clumsy and lazy...I'll drive over to Palm Springs (if they're not having one of their gay pride parades that week) and pay $14.00 - period, no sales tax - per carton for decent Canadian manufactured ciggies...(they do internet/mail order and claim to be immune from that taxation business going on)Well, I have no choice. I am 10 minutes from the Canadian border, but I can't stand their cigarettes.
And Bangor is 3.5 hours south of me. So..............the next best thing is to roll my own.

privelage.Cigar snobs should probably learn how to spell "privilege" before lifting their leg on "stupid" cigarette smokers.
To: SheLion
They're running about $50-60/carton in Chicago ..the city who can't tax enough or get enough $$ for their cafeteria of social programs, just keeps layering on the fees and taxes.
The casinos in Indiana, however, are very creative: they just charge $10 a pack!! LOL

It ain't broke! This would be a perfect afternoon to fire up the Weber, since it's halfway preheated already.

Heh! The casinos in Colorado are excempt as well. But the tobaccophobe law has these few words in it: "Employees have the right to a smoke free workplace." And since casinos have employees as well, this law would be required to apply there, too.
I contend that this conflict makes this an illegal law and it should be thrown out because of it. But the revealing thing about it is that the idiot elected morons are saying, "I didn't even read this in the law when I signed it."

Chill out...........I know most of us have never been happy with the fact cigar and/or pipes were not permitted where cigarettes are.
