I've posted regarding local smoking ordinance bans before here in several threads. The city of Lincoln, which is 72 miles from me, had a voter approved measure that banned smoking in all public indoor places. This even included tobacconist shops and even cigar bars!. :angry2: One owner tried to circumvent the rule by parking a giant bus in front of his business and ran it on cold days so smokers could use it. Another owner tore a gaping hole between the wall and ceiling so that it could not be an "indoor facility" according to the letter of the law. :laugh: Well, it turns out that Sen. Pat Bourne of Omaha has sponsored a bill in our legislature that would overturn the bans and prevent local governments from passing anti-smoking measures. :thumbs: :thumbs: The only bad side is that a state-wide ban would probably result from this pyrrhic victory. ??? ???

This just made my day a little bit brighter!.
