By a 12-1 vote on Friday, July 23 the Minneapolis City Council approved the passage of an ordinance that bans smoking in liquor and food establishments, bowling alleys and pool and billiard halls. The new law becomes effective March 31, 2005. The Minneapolis vote came three days after the City of Bloomington voted to restrict smoking in bars, restaurants and workplaces.

Ah, that's old news here - the town where I work has had a smoking ban that covers *all* places of business (including bars and restaurants), as well as areas within 10 feet of any "public entrance" for nerly a decade. The state has a slightly less rigid ban (bars and restaurants over a certain size are exempt, along with bingo parlors), but it's under challenge, too.

*shrug* I smoke, and I can live with it (for one thing, it's reduced the number of people who get up my nose about the habit). I do spend a good deal more of my work breaks outdoors - and far from the doorways - than I used to, though, rain or shine.

Were you hoping it would kick in prior to Minicon?

Just wishful thinking about a bar or two, The Eagle and the CC Club. One for it's selection of men and the other for it's selection of cheap breakfasts...

Its alllllmost gone. I can wait one more month.

To mark the nearing end of smoking at the Eagle, the Atons used the February Fetish Friday to do Cigars. My once-a-decade smoking habit.
