The Ban is Back

Ban the Ban joined restaurant and bar owners in preventing the passage of a Bloombergian smoking ban in Washington D.C. workplaces in the City Council. Now, the banners have decided to ressurect their crusade in the form of a ballot initiative. The idea, apparently, is to have folks who haven't set foot in a bar since before the Yalta treaty ensure that the only place left to smoke will be under your bed with the doors locked. And then, only if you haven't hired a nanny or contracted to have your house renovated at the time. Surf over and see what you can do to help if you live in the area.
