Smoking Ban Supporters Will Not Appeal

by Jason Mosley

Allegheny County finally throws in the towel on the smoking ban issue. This is great news for freedom. And when I say freedom I don’t mean for smokers, I mean for the business owners. If they want to allow smoking they should have the freedom to do so. Here is the important part of the Post Gazette story.

In a closed meeting before the regular meeting of council last night, members, after consulting with their attorney, decided not to appeal the Commonwealth Court ruling to the state Supreme Court. — Read the full story here.

I have been expressing my view on this issue for a long time, but this is not the blog for them. So, I will just give you a links to the stories I have written in the past on my other blogs. No Need for a Smoking Ban (MrBaconpants.com) and On Again Off Again Smoking Ban (talkObjectivism.com)

If you don’t agree with me, that’s fine. I feel that this was an important issue we all should be talking about.
