Ashtray's Are Illegal

I'm a nonsmoker, but even I agree the laws are going way too far. To make ashtray's illegal is ridiculous.

The ashtray was there, he said, because a customer came in the store with a cigarette. Rather than make her go back outside, Arno let her snuff it out in the ashtray.

Ashtrays are outlawed, according to Health Department spokesman Andrew Tucker, so that "there is not an invitation to smoke in the establishment."

If people want to smoke let them. It should be up to the establishments whether to allow smoking or not. If you don't smoke don't go. It's that simple.
