After the fact - KC's smoking ban, three+ years later
So, now that we have had time to adjust and absorb the smoking ban, how do you feel about it? Was it a good thing, a bad thing, still an unholy infringement on our "civil rights", or do you just not care one way or another?

Poll to come.

He had no idea about that. It was purely a coincidence.

Direckshun makes nothing great, and don't lump me in with him. I'm not here to merely offer endless contrarian political spam and piss people off, all while being joyless, drab and awful.

Just my observation but Direckshun always seem to be in a good mood and happy...

As far as political spam goes you missed the last 2-3 years with honestchieffan and pete spamming over here. It is nothing compared to then.

BULLSHIT! Not giving out passes but Direcksun is nothing more than a reaction driven poster, most often resorting to spam~

Organizations pushing extended smoking ban for Austin bars

BY KVUE NEWS
01.21.13 | 01:17 pm

KVUE -- If you are one who likes to light up when enjoying the great outdoors at an Austin bar or restaurant, you might eventually have to go someplace else to smoke. Some organizations want to extend the smoking ban to include patios and balconies.

Todd Dixon serves on the Leadership Council of the American Lung Association Gulf Plains Region.

He says, "smokers are not going to be happy but they will adjust."

"For the people that don't smoke, its very important that they don't have to sit here and inhale other people's chemicals."

He says the local chapter of the American Lung Association supports the efforts by the Live Tobacco Free Austin Advocacy Group, Early Childhood Council and Austin Travis County Health and Human Services Department to eliminate smoking in outdoor areas of bars and restaurants.

Non smokers say they'd appreciate not having to smell smoke if they want to sit outdoors. Smokers say a ban could hurt business and that it wouldn't keep people from smoking.

Smoker John Momberg said, "if they have to go somewhere else, there's gonna be on the sidewalks, or something like that. "

Bob Woody is President of the East 6th Street Community Association and also owns 22 bars and restaurants. Woody says he doesn't support increased restrictions on customers.

He says, "right now people don't smoke inside, they smoke outside. So they've gone through the trouble of making those changes."

The campaign is in it's early stages as organizations work to gather support in the community.

They're going to have to just ban them all together. You can buy them, and please do, we need the tax revenue, but you are NOT to smoke them!

Jesus. And I was almost certain that his banning of four posters on his message board will turn the tides on this issue.
