gistol will be pleased to know that 4.5 times as many people die each year from preventable MEDICAL MAL-PRACTICE AS SECOND HAND SMOKE. That is a risk where the patient has NO choice. Think on that the next time you or a loved one has to go to the Hospital.

The Law is the Law? Really? It says there is a $100.00 fine for an Individual. Not one individual has been cited since the Ban took place. Even when enforcement investigators witness an individual smoking and an owner registers a complaint with the Health Dept. investigator, they refuse to take action. When asked why they reply 1st it is not our job and second we have been told (DO NOT ISSUE A CITATION TO INDIVIDUALS ONLY OWNERS). Why does this happen? Because according to the Law, Merely Smoking for an Individual in a Public Place is not a Violation. I don't care who smokes and who doesn't but as an American I absolutely refuse to be made to work for them under Threat of Legal Action. If the Cowards who work for the Health Department are to afraid to confront an individual or take action when a complaint is filed don't fine the owner for your cowardice. There were exemptions on the Ballot that went away AFTER the Law was Passed and the RULES were written. Another cute little ploy is the anonymous call line that prohibits an owner from facing their accuser. While on the subject of cowards, where are all the Reporters of Days gone by that would reveal Crime and corruption no matter who done it? Right in Line behind the Health Dept?
