Sweetest girl I ever knew was from Denton..Helen Culp. But when I lost

and she never spoke to me again. And I could not call her to tell her I was
being disciplined. ROMANTIC TRAGEDY.

Although not a popular response, they at least made their own decision to not allow cigar smoking and were not forced to by the government. It was a free decision and now they will have to face the consequences. Just like we are still free to make the decision to eat their or not depending on how we feel about it.

Nothing personal, but we always complain about not allowing business owners to make their own choices but we also complain if they do make their own choices and they are not in our favor.

Just a thought...

I agree with this statement, but I also think it is a decision that should be phased into businesses. Start posting signs a month before saying that the restaurants policy in regards to smoking will be changing on a certain date, etc. Heck, if I had planned on watching a basketball game with some fine cigars and great wings, and then to have that shot down at the last second, I would be frustrated.

But you are right, at least it was the business that was making this decision and not the government. Let the market decide which businesses want to allow smokers.

100% agree that it would have been nice to know that it was coming!

Sounds like an "Andy Griffith Show" episode, Brad.
