I haven’t been following it as closely as you have. You should send your part time public serpent/dry cleaner/homemaker an e-mail BEFORE not AFTER they endorse the social engineering agenda.

I think normal people who don’t even smoke are really starting to get.

You have a guy in Allentown who works in a factory for 11 hours a day. He’s up to his eyeballs in debt, his wife just left him, his brother died, his kids are juvenile delinquents. But he tries to carry on. One thing that gives him just a little bit of joy in his otherwise miserable life is the pleasure of going to a bar after work and having a few beers and smoking some cigarettes with his friends...

And some fascists want to take that away. All in the name of a social engineering experiment to coerce him and others to quit smoking.

What do they do for an encore? Grab an ice cream cone from a little girls’ hands and leave her crying on the sidewalk? Childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes are a menace. Can’t have those medicare and medicaid entitlement programs going broke.

Free country my ass!

Well I know here in Johnstown the subject never has been broached by the City Council. And last fall someone opened a smoke-free bar and it’s doing booming business. So the free market dictated there was a need for one thus someone opened one. That is they way it’s suppose to work. I plan on running for City Council in November and if elected and the subject come up I will always vote NO. I’ve been smoking 34 years and I’m not dead yet. :)
