I got this email from the guys at Draper's.
The DC City Council is voting to enact more stringent tobacco laws that would take effect later in the year. We just got hit with 2 tax increases in the last 72 hours, thankfully not on premium cigars. We need your help in letting the Council know that we don't want these laws.
The main focus of this campaign will be to stop a potential "sidewalk smoking ban", that has been talked about by a couple members of the Council, but most notably Mary Cheh. I think I speak for everyone reading this email, "This is absolutely unacceptable!" First we get a smoking ban inside our favorite restaurants and bars, now potentially you won't be able to enjoy a smoke while walking in the city, outrageous.
I am including 2 email links that I ask everyone send a short email to, explaining your opposition to this egregious overreach of government control. Your email should simply state that you are an adult that chooses to enjoy an occasional legal smoke and have already been forced to do that outside. You are against more government interference, and that your civil liberties are being taken away daily, and you are fed up. Something that hits on those points. Please include your name at the end.

Thank you for helping stop this potentialy devastating legislation.
