While traveling overseas this fall, I saw some glassed-in smoking spaces at
some of the air terminals close to the arrival area. Many passengers made a

Your gut level reaction to friends dying of cancer is disgust? Not pain

Michelle Hill posted about the MPI/AMPCO two weeks ago. The issue

As far as you can tell? Sue *tore a building down* in response to the
smoking ban. She evicted her flower-shop neighbor (who she really liked, and
was heartbroken about it) to tear down the shop to build a patio. Kind of
hard to notice a building being torn down. Stub and Herb's happens to be a

OK, folks - we all need to take a *deep breath* (smoke-filled or not) on the
smoking ban thread.

I have another concern relating to this proposal. The purpose, according to
