Ya know whats funny, When I used to work at a major ballpark, there was smoking, and even smoking in the stands at the time (since it was a park)
In 6 years I was there, I never heard or seen one person complain about the smoke, or the air or anything.. while walking about...
But now In the last couple years the park has gone, total smoke free, cept for 2 smoking area's both outside the gates.. As a customer to watch the games, thats all that I heard walking from food/beer stands to seat in how bad the place stunk from the smoking areas. Its like Now, 80% of the people are complaining about the smoke, even the smokers because they can now smell it travel thru and it is so condensed by like 20 times, it smells like that smell you get cleaning beer bottles with butts out after a major party thruought the entire "pathway" of the park as the wind blows. Pretty Fucking nasty
Makes that hot dog at the game oh so much more tasty.. NOT
Anyhow, Illinois is now smoke free bars and restaruants as of the 1st of january.. I don't smoke anymore but i think its the stupidest thing ever...
But it made me learn something... the city is way prepared for the loss... I never know of this law till a day ago... But it now explains. the 100% rise in business licenses , and liquor licenses costs.. and to make up for the lost money in taxes from cigs being sold in bars... they now tack on a 5% bottle water tax.. first in the country to do so...
Fucking slick fuckers these polititians they are... Way ahead of the game
