Nebraska Statewide Smoking Ban

[slyder]

The state ammended the bill that takes effect in June. It will allow smoking CIGARS in "cigar bars". To be a "cigar bar" 10% of your revenue must come from cigar sales. Only cigars can be smoked....you cannot smoke cigarettes in cigar bars!! This is to keep every bar in the state from becoming "cigar bars". It sounds dumb but at least the lawmakers are thinking about stuff for a change. If they didnt do this there would be cigar bar signs going up all over the state.

This is great. Now if Iowa would get it's act together.

Thanks for the update

Hmm interesting. I have definitely heard/seen worse before. I'm all for no cigarettes in cigar bars. DAMN I can't stand their smell, they stink

[slyder]

not only do they stink......they kill people.....we should have a waiting period to buy them and maybe a back ground check

The place also has to have a walk in Humidor.


Its great that this passed though, even though as of right now it only affects like 5 places in Nebraska

Kind of, and kind of not. One of the big proponents is a senator, the other is the owner of Cigarros in Omaha.

This statewide thing is getting out of hand. Its always been no smoking in state buildings....now they are saying no smoking in Veterans Homes since they are actually state buildings. So now all the 80 year old vets that lost limbs and more for our country cant even smoke in their own home!!! they have to have a nurse wheel them 25 feet away from the building!! Im sick to my stomach over this. Most of these men have nothing to live for. They watch TV and smoke.......let em smoke. We have designated smoking rooms with ventilation. The furniture is even flame retardent. It just sickens me that the state would do such a thing to people who gave so much for their country. By the time im ready to go to the Veterans Home there wont be any liberties left...it will be a concentration camp with ugly nurses.
