Butt Out!
Well, it's official. Toronto is now officially smoke-free.
But while the city vowed a no tolerance beginning to the bylaw, sending out eight officers to patrol the downtown bars and watch for early violators, there's no immediate word that any charges were laid.
Well it's better than the half-assed bar vs restaurant legislation that's kept me and my kids out of some of the finer pubs that have declared themselves bars to avoid the smoking ban until now.
Some tavern and diner owners fear they'll lose business as a result of the ban, but Toronto Health officials predict they'll more than make up for it by attracting new patrons who were turned off by all the smoke.
Well, they've got me and my kids back, but I seriously doubt that I'll pay more in the long run than a clientele of dedicated puffers.
I have some other thoughts about freedom and liberty and all the rest of that nice flowery stuff, but the alcohol consumed earlier in the evening with dinner has, alas, deserted me.
I feel like a smoke. Damned I am that I didn't get Marlboros when I was in the States a week or two ago...
i never heard about this , puff puff
