As for NY's smoking laws, it's all about revenue, of course. We instated the ban in bars 4 or 5 years ago. Many bars just set up 'fine jars' so their patrons could continue to smoke, and pay the fine with that $. What amazes me is how few people notice how the 'state' talks out of both sides of it's mouth. On one hand they demonize it and "want to help you quit!" and on the other it generates HUGE amounts of tax revenue. So ya think they want to help you quit? Really? This kind of doublespeak drives me up the wall. Very effective on most people however. I don't care either way really as I'm not a barfly, but NY needs to get it's finger out of my @ss.

What a joke.
