Failure to comply with Department of Health and Social Services orders carries fines ranging from $100 to $1,000.

Boy, don’t THEY look good with all that power, eh?

"You're asking us to basically enforce your laws," he told a panel of public health officials Wednesday.

With an IRON FIST!

Some business owners have speculated that bars and restaurants might convert to private clubs to get around the smoking ban.

A representative of Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children read a letter from chief executive officer Thomas Ferry, asking state officials to consider waivers for separate, enclosed facilities set aside strictly for smoking, such as the "smoking hut," on the hospital campus.

Now, now! Can't play favorites, can they?!

It also exempts private social functions to which the public is not invited and when seating arrangements are under the control of the sponsor of the function, not the owner or operator of the facility.

Why can't the Casinos and Bars and Restaurants "be under the control" of their owner?  Double standard, maybe?

There is a meeting tonight? Boy, let us know how it goes. I sure hope the people fighting for their rights outnumber the anti's for a change. That would be wonderful!!!

Business owners are fighting to stay afloat in hard times, and along comes the NANNIES telling them they have to take an even BIGGER hit!

Because there is no medical proof second hand smoke hurts anyone, that argument is just facism. Not one person, ever, has ever died from second hand smoke.
If a woman has a right to tear the child out of her womb because "it's her body", shouldn't smokers have the right to do what they want with their bodies, too? What if they wish to gather their bodies together in a bar and smoke and have a beer?
How dare these niconazies tell others "what they can do with their own bodies?"
