Looks like Pittsburgh just decided individual rights and private property don't mean a thing - Allegheny County passed a smoking ban tonight. It goes into effect the day after Christmas and bans smoking in any public place except for businesses with 85% of their income from tobacco sales. Guess that means my 2 favorite places to go to smoke will be off limits.
Of course, this assumes that the County Executive (sort of like the President) signs the bill and that it isn't overturned by state courts as PA has a state preemption (sort of) on smoking regulations...
Time to move out of the county...
