Reversing his previous position, Bloomberg and NYC have confirmed that their proposed smoking ban will be enforced in private clubs, and any place the has "employees." They insist that they have the right to control private property, and the legal behavior of individuals, in the name of helpless employees that have no choice but to be subjected to highly lethal cigarette emissions of pompous over bearing elites.

Will this ban also include private households that have "employees?" I wonder what Bloomberg is going to say to those "employees" when they are out looking for a job. The smoking ban is likely to have a significant impact on local restaurants and businesses, which will in turn mean job cuts and lower wages for those that work in that industry.

I also wonder how Bloomberg plans to fix the budget crisis, which he previously "fixed" by increasing cigarette taxes, because smokers seem to be running out of places to smoke.
