420 is (apparently) police lingo for marijuana busts, so lots of places have marijuana/hemp festivals on 4/20 each year.

This is the only current information I could find for you.\n\nWhile the bill could still be changed right up until the vote, here is what the latest understanding of the bill is, which was released Friday. \n\nThere would be a policy that would not allow any restaurants to allow patrons under age 18 to smoke.\nThere would be no smoking in any place of employment, retail store, mall, bowling alley, sports arena, or outdoor county park.\nSmoking would be allowed in bars.  Also, any restaurant with a bar inside will be exempt from the ban, as long as the bar is physically separated with walls or doors.\n"That would allow places like Hacienda or Friday’s or whatever restaurant that might have a clearly separated bar and restaurant to allow smoking," explains County Councilman Andy Kostielney.\n\nAside from bars, smoking would also be allowed in any business that only allows patrons 18 and over, which includes tobacco shops, bingo and social halls, as well as private clubs.\n\nPunishment for not following the law \nIf the law is passed, and businesses do not obey, the punishments are as follows. \n\nA first offense gets only a verbal warning. \nThen, there will be a written warning for a second violation.\nBusiness owners will be slapped with a $100 fine for a third violation.\nAfter that, each additional violation would cost businesses $500.  \nLastly, the fourth will cost $200. \nMoney collected would go towards the county's enforcement of the ban.

I must be a whole lot older than the rest of you, but I saw Who at the Richmond VA center formerly known as the Mosque.  Couldn't hear for three days.  Late in '69.  In '75 saw Jefferson Starship and Greatful Dead in the Park in SF.  Also have seen Canned Heat, remember them?  Anybody?  What about Eric Clapton with Derik and the Dominoes at the Civic Center in Cincinnate  in '69?  The best for me was a private performence by The Dirt Band(Nitty Gritty) in '71 in Roanoke VA.

None. don't want to litter. I thought the best protest would be purchasing cigarettes from a state which doesn't have a smoking ban. Have to travel about an hour but gee at least that other state without smoking bans will be getting my cigarette taxes. Imagine if every smoker did that? Might have to purchase a few cartons at a time but let the state feel the lack of smoking dollars.

Didn't get to see many games this year. Though did get to see the Stro's and Cards late last year. Was kind of wierd, I was sitting outside the stadium on the rooftop looking through the glass at the game. The sound of the crowd still came though, and the silence like when Pujos blasted a homer. It was like watching him hit in a minor league stadium the ball wasn't even close to staying in the park. \n\nRefreshments were a two minute walk away, had the ledge to use for a table and tables all around. Nice breeze blowing so it wasn't real hot. Ballpark peanuts. Somehow they never taste the same anywhere you go except a ball park. \n\nThough I think my favorite game was the first time I saw Randy Johnson pitch. It was like he was handing the ball to the catcher he's so tall. The ball was in his hand one second, the next it was banging into the catchers mit, the batter looking as confused as me as to where the ball went :) Saw that game in the Astrodome. \n\nRemember as a kid watching the O's play in Baltimore. Was the first reguler season major league game I'd seen live. I'd seen exibition games, once saw Paul Molitor make an awesome leaping catch as a second basemen for the Brewers against the Dodgers in an exibition game. In that game there were at least 4 future hall of famers playing. Yount and Molitor were the two who really stuck out. Sutton didn't pitch that game but he was there, so were a couple others.

Issue 4 would allow smoking in bars, bowling alleys, bingo halls, racetracks, enclosed areas of restaurants and some other buildings. \n\nIssue 5, would ban smoking in nearly all buildings outside the home.\n\nMy husband and I just recently purchased a bar and we are very concerned that the people, (may I remind everyone one that their name is not on our promissory note with the bank.) Can decide if I can allow smoking in my establishment.\n\nI'm pissed. It's suppose to be effective December 8, 2006. And since Issue 5 passed, the only place smokers can smoke is outside. That's it.\n\nI posted a similar question, about possible loopholes. There is a clause in the issue 5 regarding private clubs and you would have to get a D-4 permit to do so. But, to get a D-4 permit you have to be Non-Profit and an established "club" for at least 3 years. \n\nSo basically, the voter's told us how to run our business. Which to me is not fair. \n\nI guess the bright side is that there is no evidence that it actually decreases business, it may possibly increase business because the people who don't like cigarette smoke may be more likely to frequent bars now, since they won't have to deal with the smoke. and since it's for the entire state and not just a city/ward . It's not like our patrons can go around the corner and give there business to another bar because you can't smoke there either.

i think its open all the time, its a massive building with tons of stuff to do...However, if im wrong and youre too early (or even if youre not) go check out the Steam Whistle brewery inside the old train station. Its right at the end of the ACC parking lot and right outside the SKYDOME (dont call it rogers center please). Its around 10 bucks for a six pack and the tour, theres also free beer along the way. Great way to kill some time before the game. Go Jays!

F*uck man - so long as you use responsibly, its no problem.  Smoke on Friday and Saturday nights, then leave it alone - you'll be fine

Here is another question on this site about this event. Some good info in there:\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20060619142932AAEs3Rg&r=w&pa=AptqD2bwHTHf6.CCYaUxuU0b4pj_uIMdrRQx1FPwVFRg92MHQaTYPJhkj5ZH29GWigOb1aDOrF_QCQ--

Yes.  I have seen it.  Furthermore, I recommend it to any and everyone.  Many may see in it what they want to, but where there is smoke, there is some fire.\nYou are right about the buildings coming down in a suspicious fashion, as well.  While I am not a demolisions expert, it appears to be a "controlled" drop.

Honey,it's a sign of the times. Don't try to figure it out.I'm a smoker too,but I have three grown son's and none of them smoke.It's my smoke.So I'm careful to keep it out of other peoples air space.

Check the employee break room or the back entrance.  They are usually loitering around smoking.

ever notice that hardcore non-smokers never complain about industrial smokestacks, car exhaust fumes, diesel fumes, or cow farts!  not the smoke from a stove or fireplace.  not the local chicken processing plant or the paper mill??  just about the rights of a smoker.  we're in training by our government & a few "i think i'm perfect" people.  kinda' like Pavlov's dog.
