So where do we go to sign the initiative?I would imagine that any serious cigar store or tobacconist near you would probably have copies of the petition to sign. If not, you can call or e-mail The Cigar Association of Washington, and they 'should' be able to tell you where in your area you can sign it.I-1016, Cigar Association of Washington
5963 Corson Ave. S. Suite 130 Seattle, WA 98108

206-767-3629 FAX

***********************************
If you would like to read the petition online and even print out a copy and gather signatures yourself, a PDF copy of the petition is available for download from the CAW website

I'm sure that the Cigar Association of Washington would be delighted if you were to send them a petition with lots of valid signatures on it, including yours :-)
Would it also include pipes?
Yes. From the petition's text:(1) Smoke or smoking means the
carrying or smoking of any kind of lighted
pipe, cigar, cigarette, or any other lighted
smoking equipment.

...would create unintended loopholes in the law. For instance they say a bar might call itself a private club in order to allow patrons to smoke.What's wrong with that? Then the nonsmokers couldn't come in and do their fake coughing and other silly tactics.

I can’t understand why they couldn’t allow something REASONABLE and not EXTREME in the first place. Utterly ridiculous and STUPID.

Feh! They have a cigar bar down the street near our new slot-machine tourist and sucker trap.
You can't get a drink or smoke a cigarette there and the cigar snots are obnoxious anyway.

Backers of the indoor smoking ban are concerned the initiative would create unintended loopholes in the law. Oh my! Wouldn't want that! Smoke, the horror, the horror!

Hooka lounges are popping up left and right on Long Island, and I’ve seen several in NJ, too.

The way that the hysterical anti-smoking zealots around here act, you'd think that people who smoke are intentionally trying to kill them.
I have come to view smoking, and particularly the smoking of magnificently large cigars or pipes, as being as much or more of a 'statement' as when the innumerable greasy and unwashed commies wear their "Che!" T-shirts. If I'm in a particularly moody disposition, I light up a stogie and walk down the street. I'm not breaking any laws (yet) but the expressions of utter rage and disgust on the faces of the Seattle Left are just priceless :-)

We have the same thing here in Ohio of all places. It’s totally ridiculous. I’m counting down the weeks (7) until hubby and are in Vegas, where hubby can enjoy a cigar with his adult beverage (oh, the horror)! Nazis.

I've never visited
The Sagebrush State but you've identified one of probably many reasons to. I'm not a gambler but it would be nice to be able to relax awhile among reasonable people for a change, and I understand that the scenery in many areas is spectacular. I hope that you and your husband will have a very enjoyable vacation :-)

You’re quite welcome. Don’t ever hesitate to ask, no guarantee when I’ll see it, but when I do I am more than happy to oblige!!!
