Last Smoke in NY

Gosh, I can't go to the Left Coast, and now it looks as though I'll be avoiding the Big Apple like the plague as well. I probably wouldn't go there even if I wasn't a smoker - just the principle - the idea that the government can order small businesses around in this fashion, is disgusting. Oh well, I told my stepfather that someday he'd be buying his cigarettes off the Columbian Tobacco Cartel. It may happen....

Last smoke in New York. Smokers in New York City can no longer light up in any restaurant, bar or nightclub under strict new laws. [BBC News | Front Page | UK Edition]

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
