Most of the rest of the Northeast, and all of Washington DC, is smoke-free 
already.  Except for the United States Capitol Building.  This just 
typifies our government's above-the-law attitude.

Honestly, I'm not bothering to write to any representatives about it or 
sign any petitions. If they want to hasten their own deaths and those who 
work for them, I'm prefectly fine with that.
