Star Tribune Letter to the editor.

Bar patrons responding to smoking ban's tyranny If the intent of the Minnesota smoking ban was to improve indoor air quality, the law would have been written in terms of an air-quality standard and not a smoking ban.
With their participation in "theater nights," bars are using the letter of the law to protest the spirit of the law behind the state's five-month-old indoor smoking ban.
When the spirit of the law is tyranny, civil disobedience will surely follow.
