A kick in the nuts due to new law....

I said "Don't worry bout that, gonna smoke it here". Then he broke the news.....no more smoking in the shop due to that new smoking ban that just came into affect in North Carolina. I thought that only applied to the bars and restaurants! We talked about it for a couple minutes and he said the reason it affected him was the fact of his shop being in a strip mall setting. The neighbors have been complaining to the landlord and all. It was a kick in the nuts because thats the only place around I knew to smoke in. Anyway, I enjoyed my cigar on the ride back home, so not a complete loss! He said he was working on a solution....guess he may be planning on moving to a free standing building so smoking will be allowed. I really hope he does because the owner is an awesome guy and he runs the best B&M around here. I'll continue to go there for B&M purchases, just a shame that the days on sitting around in there enjoying a good smoke are gone.

I live in North Carolian also, no problem at my B&M, and he's in a strip mall. I agree with you, his fellow tenants should not have been able to stop him from allowing you guys to smoke in the shop.

Actually since the new owner bought the place there haven't been any problems.

You know why don't you, when you and I weren't looking "Skills" took care of him....for good!
