The Raw Story | Belmont, California: Anti-smoking capital of USA

The Raw Story | Belmont, California: Anti-smoking capital of USA: "The air will be cleaner when a broad smoking ban takes effect next month in this suburban enclave nestled between San Francisco and Silicon Valley.

But while some residents have breathed a sigh of relief over the decision, others are fuming.

The anti-smoking ordinance, one of the strictest in the nation, makes it illegal to smoke in parks, outdoor eateries, doorways, construction sites and even in private apartments."

The Fascists are at again. The residents of this town will no longer be able to smoke in their apartments, or within 20ft. of a window or door. It will not be long until this law migrates to the rest of California, then to other areas of the United States. "Sorry sir, we cannot allow you to destroy state property, and I mean your body, not just the park."
