The Pennsylvania Smoking Ban Should Include Bars

  Today I went to a 40th birthday party for one of my mother's friends daughter. It was held at a bar my mother's friend didn't pick the location. Since I don't touch alcohol ever, and being used to eating in restaurants that have 100% no smoking, going to a bar would be different. In fact if you grown up in a nonsmoking household, you can't deal with the smell of cigarette smoke yet alone breathe. Apparently the Pennsylvania statewide smoking ban excludes bars and casinos. WTF? I mean if you are going to go all of the way with banning smoking in all public places, then you don't exclude anyplace. I never go to the casinos in PA and I never will because of the factor of allowing Smoking. I can't stand tobacco or the smell of the smoke. If I were governor of Pennsylvania, I would make a serious amendment to the smoking ban that is already in place in the state. My plan would be a Complete smoking ban. That means, you can't smoke in bars or in the casinos and even clubs so I can make the experience more enjoyable for nonsmokers. Also at the party, I heard two people who were there for the party having a conversation about how awful the smoke was. I was practically choking in there. Wake up Pennsylvania and think things through.
