Good for that judge.  I wish more judges would uphold the smoking ban.  Most smokers are not considerate of others.  They throw their cigarette butts on the ground and some have even carelessly burned down homes or caused massive fires. \n\nNot only that, there are undisputed facts as to the ill effects smoking causes to one's health.  I had an uncle who died from smoking cigarettes.  It caused damage to his lungs and he had to have part of his lungs removed and he had to breath through this machine. But he still kept on smoking afterwards anyhow.  \n\nSo, I'm so glad the judge upheld that smoking ban.  Maybe if there are more smoking bans, more people would quit smoking.

Yes, New Jersey. I think they fired Pat Burns or Jim Schoenfeld and finished the season with Larry Robinson

I don't think so, but I wouldn't be foolhardy enough to answer a definite "no" without knowing more about the specific situation.  What did they attempt to overrule?  If the judge's ruling violates any Mingo County ordinances or statutes, then the County Commission could ask a higher court to block the original judge's ruling.  I don't believe they could just arbitrarily overrule the judge, though.\n\nHowever, I don't practice law in West Virginia, so if this is your situation, you definitely want to seek the advice of an experienced attorney.

I'm not sure if you can find this information easily (maybe if you call your local Republican or Democratic party headquarters or your local courthouse?).\n\nRegardless, hopefully the Judge hands down his ruling independently based on the evidence and precedent, not his political leanings.

I'm still not sure why smoking was banned in public places like restaurants and bars. Non smoker have had their non smoking areas with fans, wasn't that enough? I guess not. People just want to dictate what others do so they can get their way. If non a smokers right were seemingly violated they would and do get their way. How about smoker's rights?

Published in the UK last week was a paper stating that if smoking was banned in pubs, then smokers would light up @ home more, endagering their family & children more. This was one reason put forward why smoking as yet to be banned their.\nMaybe not the best reason, but one the British Government counted as valid.

Welcome to the world of us New Yorkers.  Puke-taki and Dumberg really FUBAR'D everything and killed the bars with the smoking ban.  We now go to indian reservations and Long Island, costing the city MILLIONS.  While NYC may be able to afford it, I doubt Ohio would.  Good Luck.\n\nTo those non-smokers who don't mind when their freedoms are curtailed, remember, tyranny always starts with the small stuff, and eventually moves on to the important things.  I'd been smoking since 12, and am now 28.  Quit for personal reasons (wife & kids).  Because I  no longer do it, should I not have the right to put into my body what I see fit?

Just back from Dublin where the ban on drinking in pubs, restaurants etc., has been banned now for over a year.  Now most pubs have a type of lean-to shelter in the rear garden where some smokers congregate.  Others stand outside the front door.  I like it, as I have always preferred smoking my pipe outside.  The off-shoots of the ban, are that a lot of pubs are no longer viable and are being converted into flats.  Also, takings are well down with off-licensed premises having a booming trade.

No. Singapore lifted its ban, so that's no longer the case.  Don't know about Amsterdam, but I'm skeptical of that one, since you can smoke hash there without risk.

I believe you can petition it, but you need to prove that there is some bias with that judge. It cannot be just because you dont like him/her.

Indeed, very dangerous. Judges are intended to interpret the law but have been using their power to create the law. That is very bad. Impeachment or recall are the only real options for activist judges.

First ask them to smoke somewhere else.  And then if your state has a smoking ban of some type you can take legal action.  But I don't think a restraining order is what you are looking for.  They are actually called Personal Protection Orders and they are for when someone is threatening physical harm to you.  They will probably just laugh if you try and get one because someone is smoking near your window.\n\nIs this a house or an apartment?
