The plot sickens. Most bars are business as usual because this tricky little law was devised with no idea how to enforce it, no idea who will enforce it, and no idea what the repercussions should be.

My feeling is that if I ever were arrested for smoking a cig, I am not paying the fine; let them take me to jail. I'll take a couple vacay days at work, the taxpayers who saw fit to pass this damn law can pay for me. It's my own civil disobedience.

So many people voted on the issue, then when it was passed they were like "WHAT? I didn't know it would do all that!" Part of it is that people believe the freaking commercials and don't read the letter of the law that is available, and part of it was sneakiness on the part of the cig-nazis.

Two glaring examples: Truck drivers passing through Ohio in a corporate owned truck are not allowed to smoke in their cabs.

Also, I am an auxialiary member of a fraternal organization...private club, right? Not since they defined private club as having NO PAID employees and no one under 18 can ever set foot in the building (they have a lot of parties and receptions in the rented out hall.)

Next beer will be outlawed in bars.

Meanwhile, crack and meth are growing industries.
