More smoking rants

I have to say, I agree with Aaron 100%. He has stated what I would like to say, but I generally tend to avoid confrontation at all costs. I think this thread in particular wasn't a place to vocalize anti-smoking sentiments.

I agree with you, and it is why I didn't post a response.

Thank you for posting all these smoking places. I will refrain from ever doing business there! keep them coming, please.

Aha! I just remembered that it's possible to "split" a topic with the new forum software. So now we have one thread for talking about restaurants that still have smoking sections, and a separate thread where people can rant about smoking.

I'd rather you just eliminate it frankly...it just irritated me when all those places got exemptions. I had not been back to Baxter Ave and didn't realize they went smoke free. It was great in there! But it's just impossible to keep up with who's doing what. The litigation is in Judge Denise's court but I'm not sure when it will be tried. It's the Louisville Hospitality Coalition suing for unfair advantage to Churchill Downs.
I really do understandd the fear of change in the industry, but it seems that instead of trying it, they just immediately want to fight it.
