This commonwealth is one of the heaviest smoking places in the United States, and every single year the politicians of the commonwealth suck up money from tobacco lobbyists while refusing to institute smoke-free restaurant laws. I know Goode loves to keep constituents smoking like chimneys. That dumbs them down.

McGrady’s Irish Pub has decided to stand up to the money sucking politicians and go smoke-free. Always a great move. Now, will the outdoor seating go smoke-free? At least they have started with the first step.

The Local is smoke-free. They seem to be doing rather well and doesn’t seem to be going out of business. Boston, Ireland, California, Paris, Colorado, and NYC (to name just a few) have gone out of business since banning smoking. Right?

Why hasn’t every restaurant banned smoking. Come on South Street. Come on Blue Light.
