Smoking ban in NH?
It looks like New Hampshire – our friendly “live free or die” neighbor is planning on banning smoking in public places.

I’m a smoker – yes, I know – and I honestly have to say that I don’t mind the smoking ban. Whenever I travel to places where smoking is allowed, I always: a) smoke too much and b) get unnerved when I see people lighting up. Funny how quickly habits change.
How many states are smoke free, anyway?
The rest of New England has a smoking ban, am I right?
11 states have smoking bans including all New England states except NH. NH needs a smoking ban to protect people who work in restaurants and bars. Not everyone gets to choose where they work so this argument, “just work somewhere else” doesn’t fly. I think it also makes NH look bad that’s it’s the only New England state without such a law. We don’t look all “Live Free and Die” we look redneck and backwards. Let’s hope it passes.
If this thing passes in the “Free State”, it will be a major blow to freedom and personal responsibility in America.
I’d say Dougie is the redneck. I’d much rather see NH loosen up it’s laws and adopt a tolerance level of, say, Holland.
