Talking a little more about Initiative 901, which I wish California would follow suit on (since, as this article notes, the statewide smoking ban effectively made the patio seating at most restaurants death dens, which Washington's 25 foot buffer will hopefully prevent.)
But here is my favorite quote from the article:
"I'm a phone call away from selling," said Alan McWain, owner of The Spar Cafe and Tobacco Merchant in downtown Olympia. "The general public doesn't appreciate my type of business, and my type of business caters to smokers. If you can't go to a smoke shop to smoke, where the hell can you go?"Yeah, NEWSFLASH: the general public DOESN'T SUPPORT YOU, OR your type of business. Did you really just figure this out? Really? And oooohhhhhh, threatening to sell your merchant of death business? Oh, gosh, say it ain't so! As for your rhetorical question, I hear that in Christian verions of hell, smoking might be a distinct possibility. Give it a shot!
