The North Charleston City Council voted against a smoking ban. They feel that people can make their own decision on where they eat and drink. Listen to Rhonda Jerome of North Charleston City Council…..she has a sensible approach to governing.<br type="_moz" />
The turnovers of pubs, cafes and bars across Bulgaria have fallen by 50% since the smoking in public ban was imposed.<br />

The great lie continues but the proof that smoking bans don’t hurt business are at least being published. If your state or county or country has a smoking ban being proposed show them this article.<br type="_moz" />

DRINKING and SMOKING may save you from a blood cancer: the myeloma.<br />
<br />
After years of brain-washing propaganda – encouraged and commended by nanny States all over the civilized world – teetotalers and anti-smokers, as well as drinkers and smokers, will certainly be flabbergasted upon learning that the combination of smoking and drinking appears to reduce the risk of multiple myeloma, with most of the effect coming from alcohol consumption. <br />
