You can also smoke in the North End and at Churchill's near Quincy Market.  This ban is ridiculous. I understand the general smoking ban, but only smokers and people that appreciate cigars go into the cigar bars.  Leave them alone.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DB]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 10th 2008 10:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Boston Considers Cigar Bar Ban]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/12/09/boston-considers-cigar-bar-ban/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/12/09/boston-considers-cigar-bar-ban/</guid><description><![CDATA[Britney Spears returned with new album. but this isn't enough for her.

But this is stupid.  If you know it's a cigar bar and go in anyway that is your problem.  I smoke cigarettes.  I try to be respectful of those who don't.  I don't smoke in my house or my car because of my child.  When I am with others who don't smoke I go outside away from them.  I don't mind going to my place to smoke , just give me a place.  I don't even mind that it is outside in the cold.  I am just sick of people telling me that I shouldn't smoke because they don't.  As far as banning cigar bars, that is the stupidest thing I have heard in a while.  So because someone else doesn't want places for cigar smokers to gather, owners of these places will lose their businesses and put even more people out of work.  That is just what we need.  More control in this country from people who want everything their way.  People have smoked for centuries.  They will continue.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ruth Ann]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 10th 2008 2:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Boston Considers Cigar Bar Ban]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/12/09/boston-considers-cigar-bar-ban/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/12/09/boston-considers-cigar-bar-ban/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree. I think smoking is a vile habit (sorry!), and the smell of cigars just makes me absolutely nauseous. I think that smoking should be banned in places where the general public gathers. But a place with "cigar" in the name? What do these people think happens there!?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Erika]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 10th 2008 5:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Boston Considers Cigar Bar Ban]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/12/09/boston-considers-cigar-bar-ban/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/12/09/boston-considers-cigar-bar-ban/</guid><description><![CDATA[Good news.

What I am concerned about is someone who needs a job because they have bills to pay, maybe kids to feed or heaven forbid medication to buy, and can't find anything except work in a place where the air is inherently carcinogenic and deadly.  Why not make a sort of club where these people can meet and smoke, and get their own drinks and share the clean-up wihtout involving anyone else? I don't think anyone would be against that, that would all be personal choice to be there.  I'm an anti-smoker because I'm so allergic, but if they don't do it around others, it's their right to do what they want to their own bodies.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wolfster]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 10th 2008 4:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Boston Considers Cigar Bar Ban]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/12/09/boston-considers-cigar-bar-ban/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/12/09/boston-considers-cigar-bar-ban/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't drive but I do smoke.

Only smokers go to cigar bars. After all these years everybody knows the dangers of smoke first and second-hand. If you don't like it go to a different bar.

It is your choice to work there or own it, so itsn't it up to them to decide.  But that is not what is involved, it is the insurance companies and their people who are probably blackmailing the city into doing this.  It is unbelievable that they are considering this. Our rights are being stripped away, stopped trying to protect everybody we should have freedom of choice.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bette]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 10th 2008 3:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Boston Considers Cigar Bar Ban]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/12/09/boston-considers-cigar-bar-ban/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/12/09/boston-considers-cigar-bar-ban/</guid><description><![CDATA[Off with their heads if they smoke anything, anytime or any where!
