Re: BOSTON: No more cigar bars?!?!

Would it be any different if the cigar bars became private clubs?

This would suck. I have come to enjoy the crowd at Gloucester St. Cigar on Saturday afternoons. Its like a clubhouse for overgrown boys.

Re: BOSTON: No more cigar bars?!?!

You have got to be freaking kidding me. This is absolute ridiculousness! Cigar bars are, by definition, smoking establishments. Who do the politicos think they're trying to protect. The patrons and employees of these establishments go there knowing full well the type of place it is.

NOTE TO BOSTON POLS: I do not need to be protected from myself!

THANK YOU!

Re: BOSTON: No more cigar bars?!?!

Public health can not be mandated. It's horse poop. You can't allow them to control your freedoms.

You guys gotta fight. You gotta volunteer. You gotta call and make yourselves heard.

Part of the reason this stuff happens to us is we sit back and get pissed, but then do nothing.

Re: BOSTON: No more cigar bars?!?!

Next thing you know they'll outlaw red meat. This is ridiculous. One should be able to participate in legal activities like smoking outside their home as long as they're not bothering anyone else. Obviously, anyone entering a cigar bar is consenting to be exposed to smoke. So, if everyone is a consenting adult why not allow it? Smoking is still legal last I checked.

Ideally, I would like to see her get killed by a drunk driver. Life should always carry a sense of irony. lol, bet you they wouldn't ban booze afterwards.

Re: BOSTON: No more cigar bars?!?!

driving, breathing city air, the drinking water, hormones in the meat, pesticides on the veggies... i mean sh!t, I could get killed walking down the street by a car hopping the curb...

when are the G-Damned pinko-commie liberals gonna stop protecting us from ourselves???
