Hey Paul! In the US and the EU everything goes according to the same plan...I just picked the smoking bans because we are all pipe smokers here...lets not talk about all the other issues! Gets you a youtube ban quickly!! 😉 thx for stopping by! 👍
Very well put together Chris. We had the same story here, except for the period in which the owners decided on smoking/unsmoking bars and restoratants. Here we have people in the government that try to ban even smoking in outside seating areas. For now they are unsuccessful, but the day will come when they will succeed, since all political parties are somehow supporting anti-tobacco legislation. Voting for different party doesn't really help. Since I live in the capital city, we did not loose that many businesses (lots of tourists). On the other hand I can see the trend of trying to make production and distribution of the tobacco and related products more expensive with all sorts of demands (labeling, photos, tobacco tracking labels, dark market, higher taxeson of tobacco). This influences the endprices that we, smokers pay. Even pipes here in Slovenia have to be enclosed in the shops like tobacco products (dark market). Plus the number of pipe tobaccos on the market is slowly going down and online and over the border sales in and to Slovenia are prohibited. You actually have to travel to other countries to buy non-aromatic tobacco. We have here 12 blends and out of those only two are non-aromatic. These two are Amphora Virginia and Kentucky. One of the reasons why I have cellared enough for decades of pipe smoking. 😁 Take care, Janez
Yes, and on the other hand they want the cigarette smokers tax money! Even more bizarre is the fact that the same groups go for legalization of weed... hardly makes sense. But I am surprised you watch my pp series since everything you dislike is here on my channel! Controversial and decisive topics... 😉 anyway, thanks for stopping by and commenting! 👍
@@BrutalEnough If I don't like certain conflicting topics in a framework of the YTPC it doesn't mean that I don't agree with opinions and stands of the pipers presenting them. I actually agree with most of them. I (and a number of those that supported that video) just don't do it this way. My channel is about pipe smoking and I post some videos about my travels. I have covered anti-tobacco topics in the past. I just focus on these topics in the framework of the YTPC, that some say it doest exist or they never entered, but on the other hand put the YTPC sticker on their bottles, key rings, video titles and descriptions, ... . I think a lot of viewers got the video that Silviu and I did wrong. It was a polite request to avoid conflicting topics so this community will go on and advice to take them where they matter and can have some real effect. Otherwise it is like watching a review of the same blend (that the presentor doesn't like) or pipe over and over again. Anyway, the video you did deserves a comment and a 👍and I wanted you to know that. Plus this topic is actually connected to pipe smoking. Be well Cris, Janez
In my state, smoking was banned in bars and restaurants in july 2010. I was in my favorite bar that last night puffing away on my pipe. A few bars in my area got around the law by putting up a smaller separate building unconnected to the main building. Sometimes just a roof over some picnic tables. Others built an actual building with bar stools and tables but just screens on the windows to keep the mosquitoes out. Can't have glass windows. Also you have to get your drinks in the main bar and bring them out to the Smoking shack yourself. Even then, non-smokers would come out and sit in the smoke shack and complain 😂. Most bars didn't have room for a separate building. And some areas didn't allow it anyway. I know of a couple bars way out in the woods that still put out ash trays after a certain hour when they know only the locals will be there. I stopped going to bars in 2019 so i dont know if this still goes on.
@@BrutalEnough yes but the current trends point to a direction some folks don't want to admit because they think they are getting what they want. Btw apparently some of the MM hardwoods are a Maple. And my poker is one and no issues so far.
Here smoking is banned in public buildings except for the casinos (because they are on native American land so they have their own laws) but even there and when there were smoking sections it usually had signs saying pipes and cigars were not allowed
i have been looking for jobs with in my constraints of a doctor due to injury over the last year or so. i am asked during the interview process from some companies if i par take in nicotine products. of course i could lie and say no, but if they test, then i lied and i would have to delete my channel and go under ground to smoke a pipe. what i am surprised about, it is blue collared jobs that ask this question. Uhaul, one hour heating and air, tru greeen and a few more. i am amazed that it is a drive today for companies are making it a illegal to smoke in their company. something that is legal to buy and smoke, but companies are making it against the rules. but smoke all the weed you want! we live in strange times.
i also stopped voting 8 years ago. i would not vote for either of the two parties that we have here in america. both are not the best we could have running our country. it has been a joke of politicians running for office for over 40 years here. just want a small piece of land and a small home and grow my own food and get water fresh from a well. i will be out of every ones hair.
Good luck in achieving that! Over here tjey make more and more laws and regulations to make such a move impossible for ordinary people! I don't trust politics either but I saw what happened when true radicals come into power...they quickly turned everything to sh** at an amazing pace! But I do understand that voting makes no sense if all ootions are equaly bad....
People are getting too soft. Afraid they may offend someone. My best friend owns a bar I was having a cigar someone said it stunk. His reply was buy your own bar. 😂
Great info to share. Hopefully Americans can learn something from this. Have a blessed week. Pipe On

Yes, same here, this led to some odd situations...for me it was co*id when I stopped going out for the most part....
Good Afternoon 😊 Thanks for your views and video 👌🏽 Well Said Brother 💯 Have a fantastic day & God Bless You 🙏🏽 Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Hey Yusuf! I think very similar bs is going on in your part of the world, isn't it?
Great video my friend. Here where I live you still can smoke in bars and there are still restaurants with a smoking area
Enjoy it while you can!!!! Man, I miss sitting at a bar having a pint and a smoke!!! 😭😭😭
@@BrutalEnough its sad if you cant enjoy a pint and a smoke at a bar my friend
They seem good , they seem to be looking out for you - but ....... understanding the enemy
Yep...with your background I am sure you are aware their tactics... Please ask Justin fir m e-mail and drip me a line!
Will do Chris
Good video, very provocative
Thank you! Provocative...for some people facts are a provocation 🤷🏼♂️

@@SmokeSnacks excellent! MM usually know what they are doing!
Break down community, control what is said and done.... sleep walking into cells
Exactly
It’s all about stopping folks socialising, talking, stay at home plans means folks can’t talk discuss and be free
@TruckinPiperBob they've made it quite easy, everything they do is wrong!
@chillaxe9603 yes. Exactly
@@TruckinPiperBob many a revolution started at a smoke filled tavern

Yes, when I first saw such a sign I was like wtf??!! When smoking was still allowed the most anti pipe people where cigarette chain smokers!
