Nanny Town

‘Jill Israel thought the "going out of business" signs were a joke.

But shortly after she reported for duty as a waitress at the New York Deli News in Henderson on Jan. 12, her boss told her the closure notices were real. The deli's landlord, a bar and grill, was ousting the restaurant to comply with Nevada's new law banning smoking inside taverns that serve food.’



'The Faughts, who aren't smokers, saw little sense in the new law.
"I wish no one smoked, but the smoking ban is ridiculous," Pam Faught said. "This is an adult place. People make the choice to walk in here. They're making businesses and workers lose their income with this law, but if they want to end smoking, they should start at the source, with tobacco companies."'

This is a really stupid statement that inanely tries to justify the acceptability of the government to interfere in all aspects of our lives. My mother is dead now, but she taught me how to deal with life on my own. I do not need nor desire a substitute.
