Ya gotta love the quote from the Senator.  Might be nice to ask him where all the nonsmokers are that the Antis swore would improve business. Gee... think they could have been LYING???

PARTNERSHIP FOR A HEALTHY MAINE IS CHOKING MAINE'S ECONOMY!

How about we take away Maine's billions of dollars being fed in by the Maine smoker's who pay state taxes on cigarettes?!

Do away with the Tobacco Settlement Money for Maine all together.  After all, Dr. Dora Mills can find another job, right?!

[pipecorp]

Isn't it interesting how with all the settlements against "big tobacco" it still costs $$$ for such items as nicorette, welbutrin and other smoking cessation aids. There's no money to actually help you quit, but there's loads of money to tell you how bad it is, and that you should quit. Not to mention money for bottom feeders, lawyers and politicians.(redundant)

[Just another Joe]

When are you going to move outta that socialist training ground?

[Cobra64]

It seems to me that most of New England is totally F'd up. Is there a disease going on in snow country?

[freekitty]

Leave the people alone. It's none of your business, Maine.

[freekitty]

This really has nothing to do with smoking. It has everything to do with agendas and that is to enslave the American people.

"The commercial bars are dying," Mills said. "It's dreadfully unfair."

CAN THE BAN..........don't make it more forbidding for business.........

What is it with these jagoffs??????????

[Madame Dufarge]

I knew it was only a matter of time before these morons "leveled the playing field."

Is there anyone left in this state that doesn't work for the state?

This place has become a Kafka-esque nightmare.

Incrementally, smokers become outcasts. They need a makeover and become as polite as cigar smokers.

But... Public Safety, Public Safety, Public Safety, Public Safety, Public Safety, Public Safety, Public Safety, Public Safety!!!

It's for the CHILDREN, It's for the CHILDREN, It's for the CHILDREN, It's for the CHILDREN, It's for the CHILDREN!

Employees are more important than employers, Employees are more important than employers, Employees are more important than employers, Employees are more important than employers (who cares about viability or profit?!).

Sigh.

Next, your home.

I hear that taverns and resteraunts over the border in New Brunswick are having a great year.

Sort of like the boom experienced by Bahamian mariners when the tax against big boats went into effect.

[Lancey Howard]

BUMP!
