You heard the man. My CRA member # is 196728.
After the indoor smoking ban went into affect here in Maryland, Tobacconists were just able to keep their heads above water (for now) but are still under attack from the smoking nazis. One of the regulations the current law puts on them requires Tobacconists to document a certain major percentage of each days business as coming directly from the sale of tobacco, not accessories. One of the premium B&Ms in my area protested with the fact that they have humidors in stock that cost thousands of dollars and that if they sold one, it would account for the majority of that day's income. The anti-smoking zealot from the state capital replied that they would be in violation of the law and be penalized.
They let murderers, robbers, and gang-bangers go here but punish Tobacconists. Its almost like living in an alternate universe.
