This smug little missive really grinds my grits. Going outside to smoke is fine in nice weather. What about January or when it's raining?
This is the typical baloney used to justify an entirely unjustifiable move on the part of city council. Now all those who think the ban is just dandy are set up to vote for the incumbents in city hall. Supposedly, with this ban in place, all will forget whether or not the incumbents did anything substantive about the tough straights the city is in.
While you're all breaking your arms patting yourselves on the back, my buddies and I, mostly old, some smokers, mostly going out for coffee with friends is what we can afford, have nowhere to go and hang out at all. Thanks a toad ton.
Now that we're all so piously smoke free, I hope you choke on it.
