    Massachusetts is pretty much becoming all but smoke free,from using a modified form of California emissions,to increasing taxes on cigarettes,to banning smoking within a certain distance of public locations.lol

    And I thought it was bad here in Ontario. No smoking in public places. No smoking in a car if someone 16 or under is in it. No smoking in the workplace (this includes the truck that YOU OWN AND YOU FIX).

    No smoking after 8 pm.

    Plus they have taxed them up to about $10 per pack (not high enough IMO - we spend ~4.5B/year on smoking related healthcare out of the public purse but only collect ~1.5B)

    I am not a smoker, but it's one of those things I think geez government leave the people alone a little bit ... overzealous ########. I think the tax should be raised to offset the cost. I guess it could be argued that many smokers do not live as long and therefore do not get to cash in on the government CPP and OAS ...

    5 hours. It wasn't all bad though. Since it was originally a drop, I got detention for all but two hours of my 10 and then some.

    I used to deliver there quite often with one company. They do make you stay on the dock to watch the unload process to confirm any damages for yourself, or lack thereof, then make you wait in the break room for the paperwork. But, honestly, given the number of places in the NE that let you sleep on their property before/after you unload, I don't mine the extra hassle.
