Austin, TX BANS Smoking

[Peekay]

Smoking ban article

Happened over the weekend, this includes all bars and dance venues. But it doesn't go into effect until September. So I will get to smoke inside the bars over the summer.

Seems like this is happening across the country.

Also the lege is raising the tax on tobacco by a $1 and taxing snack food in order to lower prop taxes. :whistling:

WTF are they doing up there?! I love TX but have never really cared for Austin, now I know why. Seems to be getting more and more "progressive". ****in' morons!


"Everybody deserves the right to breathe clean air," said Rodney Ahart of the American Cancer Society. "This is about protecting public health."

Hmmm, not like people could just not go to smoke filled bars. Oh yeah, the liberals forget that people have the capability to think for themselves... :whistling:

Right you are.

I like the idea of taxing unhealthy food though.
