Fairly boring commentary from an oversensitive, emotionally demanding computer nerd (with a not-so brand-new 4-year-old, and two cats)

Smoking bans
Believe me, I am no fan of smoke. I don't like to hang out in bars or other places where smoking is allowed. But I am really starting to wonder if this is really the time to be cracking down on smokers. New York City has banned smoking in bars, and Boston will be doing the same soon. The Globe had a story about the ban's effects in New York. And another about a pool hall losing business in Woburn. Eventually, I would like to see a lot more smoke-free bars and clubs. Non-smokers like me often stay home rather than hear music because we or our companions can't stand the smoke. But right now, with the economy tanking (especially in New York), fear of SARS and terrorism, war and you name it, maybe we shouldn't be piling on extra stresses?Posted by markj at April 28, 2003 09:50 PM
