This doesn't look Good. California brothers let your voices be heard on this issue!
We need to make this one Viral and really spread it around the net because if one state
falls prey the others surely will follow! Mods if you think this should be moved to general discussion
feel free to do so.

Strict gun laws. Strict smoking laws. They couldn't pay me to live there.
Yeah, but it is 65 degrees and sunny.

Good thing too, because my yard is the only place I'm going to be allowed to smoke. And If the rest of CA follows Laguna Woods, then we won't be able to smoke there either.

I live here in Cali and have written my State Senator and Representative. This has to be stopped. I encourage all the CA BOTL's to let their voices be heard!

In the case of the Cigar Shop employee, they knew the job involved exposure to smoke when they signed on; so who are they trying to protect?

Guess it's back to Texas despite the GF's objections LOL! Seriously this is bogus legislation and it's infuriating. After my last post about feeling demonized because I LIKE the finer things in life.

Incidentally, went back to same bar Sunday and had no problems. It was just the one bartender who was a dick.

Yea. By this rationale, an alcoholic can apply for and get a job at a bar, and then be enraged that they are forced to handle alcohol all day! Insane, idiotic.

Should a Christian get a job at a Muslim Center and then demand legislation that forces them to be "open" to his religion? Insane!

The rationale that says even TOBACCO SHOPS should not allow smoking is just plain ridiculous. Anyone who doesn't want to be near smoke and is stupid enough to go into a tobacco shop is no different than an someone who doesn't like swearing but is stupid enough to go to a rap concert ... or someone who doesn't like violence going to a Quentin Terantino movie.

This used to be a free country! Why are Americans letting idiots run all over our freedoms?

I agree on "workplace" standards (hotel lobbies etc...) but with carve outs for lounges and tobacco retail.
As stated, if you're applying for a job at a cigar lounge/shop, you know what you're doing.

Hopefully the intent is to propose everything and negotiate down from there.
