i forget that there are still places where you're allowed to smoke in public enclosed spaces. i've gotten so used to standing outside in -30C weather outside the pub. i figure it's fair that we smokers have to suffer through that ... what a filthy habit D:

Hooray!

I KNOW! :):)

Since VA law prohibits us from banning smoking in specific localities, this is such a step in the right direction.

I can't believe Oklahoma City beat us to this. OKLAHOMA, bbs.

OH FINALLY! Now, if we could only get the perennial "gun show loophole" bill passed too.
