Breaking: Smoking Ban Actually Freaking Passes

We have a smoking ban.

No, really.

Well, if the mayor signs it.

Yes, today City Council went up and randomly passed the smoking ban, 9-6, in the final session before summer break. (Brian O’Neill was seen going “No more teachers, no more books!” after the session.) The bill has exemptions for “neighborhood bars” and outside seating.

And, yes, we’re crediting Stephen Starr with everything. Still, with the neighborhood bar exemption, basically the only bars you won’t be allowed to smoke in are Stephen Starr’s 12 bars.

    This “neighborhood bar” exemption seems like a complete mess to me. Though it’s a step in the right direction, right? right????
