CA towns ban outdoor smoking


iconThe seaside town of Solana Beach in Californiastan has banned smoking on it's 1.4 miles of beaches, reports the AP. Not to be outdone, pleasure police in L.A. have decided to propose their own beach smoking ban, which helps prove the theory that total prohibition is not very far away.

Smoking bans started on airplanes and have spread to restaurants, parks, and entire communities. Lately there have been movements to ban smoking in private automobiles when children are present, and it won't be long before smoking is banned in homes as well. I can hardly wait for the Waco-style standoffs government sanctioned firebombings, when the police come to arrest people for smoking on their own property.

In other anti-smoking news, Bloomberg's smoking ban almost burned down a tavern full of World Series watchers.

I'm somewhat surprised many pubs and taverns haven't re-established themselves as private clubs.

For example, in Salt Lake City you can't find a bar but private clubs are all over the place. For a membership fee of $5 to $10 you get a membership card good for a anywhere from one night to a year. It gives you entry into an establishment that operates just like a bar but it's not because you just can't walk in off the street and buy a drink.

I'm pretty sure Mayor Dickhead's law can't cover private establishments.

Smoking bans will do loads of good with all the smoke from the wildfires pouring in!
