If i can do it at home, why would I go to a pub? The two pubs that were my favorite spots went out of business. <BR/><BR/>I quit smoking a long time ago and don't care but pubs aren't the same anymore. What's next, ban beer because its harmful?Sea Salthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17729667460510653536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363750719887401024.post-29342669816066913502009-03-11T17:14:00.000-07:002009-03-11T17:14:00.000-07:00I also hear pubs in England are dropping like flie...I also hear pubs in England are dropping like flies, since they passed anti-smoking laws in England. <BR/>What right does the government have in running someone`s private business?

Just compare buying a Lottery ticket to getting a new passport. The government can not force people to gamble, so they have to act differently.<BR/><BR/>Lets not forget McGuinty allowing smoking areas at the Niagara casino. The Detroit casinos allowed smoking, so they were taking business away from the Niagara casino. How do you think a pub owner feels about that one? The pub owners business takes a hit, and it is who cares. The government on the other hand, did not like the drop in business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363750719887401024.post-87979492072960131182009-03-11T12:56:00.000-07:002009-03-11T12:56:00.000-07:002nd post: Hahaha!

One of the top prizes was a Pontiac Aztek. I wondered what I would do if I won the Aztek. Options included, driving with a bag over my head, refusing to except the prize, or immediately selling the car to a scarp yard.<BR/>I think OLG had some smarts on this one.
