this crap hit new brunswick a couple of years ago and the only ones it hurt were restaurant and bar owners. the night before it went into effect i went for a visit to my local watering hole, had a few delicious alpine lagers, accompanied by several players lights, and walked out...never to return. i figure that everyone is supposed to have rights, so why not let the owner decide who he caters to?not so....we are out in the cold, and they were left with trying to attract new smoke free business to make up for the losses. i ask....why would i pay top dollar for a beer when i can't have a smoke(s) with it? what i really miss is the cameraderie, or the shooting of the poop, while i enjoyed my beer and smoke.
...all is not lost, for in a few weeks there will be lots of cameraderie, beer drinking, smoking, story telling, and other shinanigans up at cc-5 and i intend to enjoy every bit of it!
