New Orleans passed a far-reaching smoking ban on Thursday that prohibits lighting up in bars, casinos, private clubs—even in the car while waiting in line at a drive-thru.

Claiming there is no “constitutional right” to smoke, the New Orleans City Council unanimously voted to outlaw smoking and electronic cigarettes in indoor and outdoor public places.

The ordinance, which goes into effect in 90 days, applies to bars, casinos, parks, private clubs, any business establishment, recreational areas, sports arenas, theaters, and a host of other places.

“[T]here is no legal or constitutional ‘right to smoke,’” the ordinance said. “Business owners have no legal or constitutional right to expose their employees and customers to the toxic chemicals in secondhand smoke. On the contrary, employers have a common law duty to provide their workers with a workplace that is not unreasonably dangerous.”

The ordinance was coauthored by Democratic councilmembers LaToya Cantrell, a former “community organizer,” and Susan Guidry.

I had heard about this.  Fucking ridiculous.

If you can't do anything about a crime rate through the roof, pass this important legislation instead.

Where is Mayor Donuts this morning?

You rang?

morning Tony.

Hiya Deano.  Got enough smokes to get you by this month?

yes I do. my SS and pension checks should be in during the week so I'm planning a much smaller order than usual. the car repair drained what little savings I had, but at least I had it. if I were still in NY I doubt I'd have been able to get it fixed.
btw - deadbeat boy and dog are still living with mommy. he moved in when I left in August and they wrote him into the lease until March. nothing changes, nothing changes.

Good morning church pews....

Did you get your salt yet?

I didn't.  Still in my PJs.

Which ones?  The flannel footies or the satin shorts and tank top?

Ugh Ohh I see a Fuk'n squirrel flashing his tail.  Let the hunt begin.

I was watching one of those silly videos on youtube where a squirrel kept getting into a bird feeder and eating all of the bird food.  The guy decided to wrap the bird feeder with clear Saran wrap, and video the results.  The squirrels were jumping about 4 feet from a tree and bouncing off of the bird feeder (pretty funny.)

Commies took over New Orleans after Katrina rebuilding.  It is still ok to shoot and rob people, suck dik's and puke in the streets but don't smoke.

Clearly, the smoking is the cause for all the other issues.

More fun to try and shoot the bastards in mid air when they try to make the jump.
