Ban the ban!

So glad to learn of a group pushing back against the proposed smoking ban in DC (besides the bar and restaurant association of course). As their website explains:

Ban the Ban is a grassroots organization dedicated to preserving choice in Washington D.C. for smokers and non-smokers alike. We oppose Smoke Free DC's efforts to ban smoking in the capital's bars and restaurants. We support the right of business owners to make their own decisions about smoking policies in their establishments and the right of workers and customers to patronize smokefree establishments if they don't wish to be exposed to secondhand smoke.

We do not accept funding from tobacco companies.

Ban the Ban raises money from house parties, T-shirt sales, and the contributions of local businesspeople. Smokefree DC and its allies are heavily funded by outside groups with an agenda that would destroy nightlife in D.C.
