Live Smoke-Free or Whine

Last week the New Hampshire Senate narrowly rejected a ban on smoking in bars and restaurants. "I believe it should be a decision that the business owner and restaurant owners make on their own," said Sen. Carl Johnson (R-Meredith). "I'm surprised that a lot of the 'Live Free or Diers' who usually confront us with statements like 'stay out of our life' or 'we don't need more legislation' were the ones asking us to ban smoking."
