My first reaction is to laugh at such silliness, but there is a certain amount of sadness I feel at how ridiculous people can be.

Impressionable utes weren't the only ones watching when Cincinnati Reds owner Bob Castellini passed out victory cigars and then lit up after his team clinched the NL Central title at Great American Ball Park on Tuesday.
Also watching at home on television were at least five whistle-blowers who noted that the Reds were violating Ohio's indoor-smoking ban. They called Cincinnati's health department to report the team and now the Cincinnati Enquirer reports the club is under investigation.
In case you're wondering, the answer is yes � I'm extremely sorry to report that there are people living among us who would actually do this.
Look, my non-smoker self enjoys big gulps of clean indoor air as much as anybody. I can't, however, imagine what kind of situational misery would make someone watch a one-time free-for-all scene where alcohol is freely being sprayed into the eyes of others and decide that he or she needs to tattle on a few puffs from a stogie at a place they're not even at. |

| Good. A few more incidents like this and extreme smoking bans will be relegated to the ash heap of history where they belong. |

I think the bigger issue is people being all up in other people's business.
Mind your own damn business, people, and stop snitching.
(Of course, if one is really concerned about privacy, don't do such things on TV.) |

| The people who called in are more likely anti-Reds fans than they are anti-smokers. Just some jealous Indians fans perhaps. |

Riiiiight. Someone's a bit naive there.  Think of all the incidents that have proven how dumb and illogical certain laws are and how those laws are still in place. Most notably drug and alcohol related laws. |
