Hmmm... this issue is not likely to go away as
yesterday Rhode Island became the seventh state to
pass a comprehensive statewide ban more similiar to
the strict version still alive in the Minnesota State
Senate.
I for one will be visiting nightclubs, bars and
restaurants in Minneapolis and Hennepin County far
more frequently following the ban than I did
previously precisely because they will know be
accessible to me since I have become able to be in
smoky environments without becoming seriously ill(due
to respiratory allergies).
I love to go out clubbing and out to eat but it's not
worth a three day recovery time involving lots of
antihistamines, inhalers, and missed work which is
what it has come to for me personally.
I will feel far more socially free in Minneapolis and
Hennepin with the coming ban and look forward to it
with anticipation.
