Please refer to the above link if you are a smoker who feels you have lost all rights to choose.

Please click this link or cut and paste it into your browser, you will see a news poll that states,” DO you agree with the smoking ban”. If you are a smoker who wants to restore some freedom of choice please select, “ no “ then submit it. You do not have to leave your name or comments.

There is a group of about 30 people who sit in front of a sponsored computer and vote every hour, they are against smoking so they vote yes, this is how the ban was put in place, by using deceptive tactics .

Since they are not playing by the rules we should respond using the same method.

You can vote as many times as possible, just once every hour, and for as many days as you want to.

Thanks for your help in restoring some form of freedom.

Also please tell as many people that smoke to vote. Thanks, a ton.

This certainly isn't intended to insult any one who doesn't smoke, but the leagues in this area are dropping very quickly, and the pro shops are loosing money because of it. I am disabled and do not smoke, but it never upset me bowling on leauge night where just about every one smoked.

I love this sport and I can't stand to see it slipping away because of a smoking ban. Compromise would be great. Open bowing or on weekends while kids and or families are bowling, no smoking. League nights when all the working class citizens are doing what they love, then let em smoke. My pro shop has gone under, how many others will suffer this fate?

Your help would not only be appreciated, it will help to perserve what we all come here for, to bowl.

Thanks, Mike aka Plane Facts

It's not my saying but I live by it's meaning.

To get somewhere you've never been able to go, you must do something you've never done.

A measure of success, to peruse your dream and watch it unfold.

IMO, the smoking ban is nothing more than a "nuisance" ordinance.  It's in place to force people to show a bit of common respect for others who are in their vacinity while out in public.

The Shepherd has Spoken!

Is it really that bad to go out between games to smoke?

There is nothing so easy to learn as experience and nothing so hard to apply.

In Ontario, everything is smoke free. A lot of businesses are hurt over the province wide smoking ban including the bowling alley I work at.
