No more Cigs in Chi

The Anti Smoking movement is gainning some serious steam in good old Chicago:

Dozens of supporters of a proposed smoking ban gathered in Federal Plaza today to encourage the City Council's Health Committee to vote in favor of prohibiting smoking in public places, including restaurants and bars.

I do not smoke, in fact, i think smoking is rather obnoxious but that is not the point. There are many people (many being a huge understatement) and are legally permitted to. This little incident is just the average attempt by big government to keep on regulating. The law makes no sense and in theory could be very bad for business. People go to the City of Chicago for an expensive meal from time to time and for spending the money they are spending deserve the ability to enjoy a legal activity. I just wish government would relax and work on the pension problem.
