Pushing Back on Bans
There are towns, cities, counties (parishes) and even states, where extreme tobacco bans are proving to be less popular than expected. Over in the Stupid Bans thread, we see that Long Beach, California is sixteen years into its ban, and the city council is now realizing that they're marginalizing cigar and hookah smokers and have proposed to roll back the ban in tobacco shops.
Now, New Hampshire is realizing a similar predicament. An editorial in the Union Leader urges the legislature to approve a bill that would allow tobacconists to obtain liquor licenses so smokers can have a place to get a drink when they smoke. Quote:

This argument by the anti-smokers is the most specious and maddening to me:
"Non-smokers are hurt by second hand smoke in establishments that allow smoking" I don't know of any tobacco shop employee that doesn't smoke at least a little. There may be some but they obviously like the smell or enjoy smoking or they wouldn't be there. The solution is painfully obvious - DON'T GO THERE IF YOU'RE A NON-SMOKER!!!

I'm having a discussion on this right now on TigerDroppings.com
that's an LSU Tigers oriented board. They're discussing a bar in Baton Rouge that may begin allowing smoking. The thread has gone seven pages now, I posted some from the Cigars and Health section here under Resources.

South Dakota Ban will go through with two exemptions.
Both places were already cigar bars on January 1, 2009, no new cigar bars will be allowed, or, at least, no existing bars will be allowed to reinvent as cigar bars. CW News Entry Click through to leave comments

South Dakota I thought was pretty safe - surprised that the ban actually went through and is as strong as it is.

I thought so, as well, Tony. Language in the story makes me think that they'll revisit the issue if business falls off too badly.
