Slowly... very slowly... but surely, tobacco is starting to be seen as the horrible thing it is, world-wide. JT would never adopt or even acknowledge any such thing, but at least even they can't deny that the stares from non-smokers towards the a$$$$es on who smoke anywhere they please are getting pretty severe.

President-elect Barack Obama had urged the Bush administration to send it to the Senate for a vote in 2005.

Obama -heavy smoker.

NYC Mayor Bloomberg - raising taxes, cutting city services, firing city employees, but he's got $250 million to piss away on a personal pet peeve like smoking. Some leader.
