What's hazy about the smoking ban?
What started as solid coverage of the smoking ban has turned into a platform for dirt bars and their dirty customers.
The Enquirer just can't stop knocking the smoking ban.
We get it Enquirer, there's a few bar owners who want us to think that the sky is falling. And yes, they all have the same standard issue BS given to them by some lawyer looking to topple a law passed by the voters of Ohio:
How many times do they have to say this before it becomes true?
If they manage to find a cigarette-puffing judge who accepts their sophomoric legal argument, I'll be excited. That's right. Excited.
The first thing I'm going to do is simple. Open a strip club. Damn it, I'm going to buy a property and there's going to be all sorts of titties on display. It'll be my property and no one has the right to tell me I can't have some strippers in it. Heck, that doesn't even cause any health problems.
At my nudey bar I'm going to host gunfight Wednesdays. Anyone who wants to can come in with their six-shooters and start duels – Wild West style. I'm sure the cops will try to break it up, but frankly, it's my property and if I choose to ignore the laws passed by other citizens, that's none of their concern.
To be honest, I'm disgusted with the state of things right now.
The media's pretending like every bar is crumbling to the ground (which it's not). They keep telling us these anecdotal stories about little dirt bars in Cheviot who are apparently in competition with veteran's halls while failing to report facts or figures about sales
I'm sad about Ohioans (Cincinnati in general since Cleveland (I think) and Columbus already have smoking bans). Are you so addicted to tobacco that you have to do damage to other people to get your fix? It's fucking pathetic. Get some chew or something you addicted pansy.
And bars, if 90 percent of your clientele (as reported by on bar owner in the Enquirer article) smoke, you're a terrible businessperson. Stop catering to addicts and junkies. It's business. Evolve or die.

The group's lawsuit claims the law is an unconstitutional infringement of their members' privacy and property rights. It has requested an order stopping enforcement of the new rules until the issues are given a full hearing in court.

Labels: Cincinnati, Ohio politics, smoking ban
I'm too much of a libertarian to care whether other people "evolve" - we're far too involved in each other's business. If it were up to me I simply wouldn't visit a smoke-filled bar.
But I would visit YOUR bar, Andrew.
Sounds like fun.
