JL Pressure Washing
The town I have my shop in has passed an ordinance of no smoking in any public building or any business and you cant smoke with in 30 ft of a public building or biz. Its kind of crazy and to bad for restaurants & bars. The town is SurfSide Beach and theres plenty of bars & restaurants, but the town is small 2 miles X 2 miles. People can just go to the town next to it and smoke a lot of the biz owner are worried. I figure they should at least let customers & employees smoke outside, but nope not with in 30 ft. I think a smoking area inside if it has the ventilation. So if you work you basically cant smoke
The crazy part is that the Police are in charge of enforcing the law and giving tickets. Now don't you think the police have enough to do. Its a big tourist area, there is plenty of crime and accidents and events that the police are needed for. So instead of the police patrolling when they aren't answering calls they are suppose to be looking for smokers, totally ridiculous. I rather have them patrolling the streets looking for real crime instead of busting some tourist for smoking or some poor McDonald's worker making $6.00 an hour trying to grab a quick smoke break. I talked to a couple cops and you can read about the smoking ban in the newspaper but you don't read much about the recent wave of gang crime and drug crimes, tourist area, they don't want them to know about crime. So while a tourist is getting robbed, the cops will be ticketing you or me for smoking out back.
My wife works at a bank in that town too. They have always let customers smoke in the bank. The bank is over 100 years old and were in tobacco one way or another hell the bank was built with tobacco money.
The biz owner are fighting it.
The police wasting their time is what really is wrong. sometimes things just go to far, protect the health of people but be reasonable please. Why don't they just close down the tobacco companies then. Cant have that, to much tax dollars
See ya I got to go have a smoke
