I use to live in Lansdale.
There are alot of folks there
who will do what they want-
I don't smoke but I think until
the gov't makes tobacco illegal
then there should be limitations
on draconian measures.

The big money settlement tobacco
companies made does not help smokers
stop smoking and their subsequent health
problems....in WA it is used for general
health or worse; added to the general
fund and discounted (that idea is being
floated this year). That money should
buy quit-smoking methods and given to
those in an attempt to stop smoking as
some have told me cost more to stop than
the habit...... idiot legislation.

I lived in Pottstown, Montco. This piece of crap legislation if approved will put the few pubs in Pottstown out of business. Ever publican there smokes, just not whilst working (well, almost:-) Gonna deny employment, and have them on the dole ? go figure

I can't imagine not smoking in a bar. The two go hand in hand.

I used to smoke a whole pack in a few hours at the pub. Beer, socializing, chain-smoking - the pub trifecta.
