No smoking [1]

VA Gov. Tim Kaine is going to renew the push for smoking bans in bars and restaurants across the state [3]. This is one issue where my personal preferences trump my otherwise quasi-libertarian-ness. I’m so very glad to see the governor working to take this toxin out of places we eat and hang out.

Granted, most of the places I go these days are already smoke-free (Thank you very much Murky Coffee and Boulevard Woodgrill), but it’d be nice to see this come into effect and make the bar at Four Courts a viable place to have a nice happy-hour beer instead of having to grab a table. What’s the quote from Serenity? When your quarry goes to ground, leave no ground to go to? Put out the smokes.
