		<description>THIS IS AN IDEA TO BE BROUGHT UP TO THE LEGISLATOR "Or whos ever in charge of helping mass transit and the 

laws"
 
Ok, Since they just came out with the no smoking in public places law in Illinois, The state can make extra money from 

having a SMOKING PERMIT for bars and etc.
Let the places choose, With the money that the state can make off this... THE MONEY CAN GO FOR MASS TRANSIT!    
 
    Let the business choose, Let the business and the smokers help save mass transit!    
 
   Everyone can benefit off this, Bother smoker and non-smokers have a choice of where to go, The business can make 

money from the customers from both smokers and non, State wins cause its more money, And the extra money from that 

can go and help Mass transit!
Over 50% of people in bars smoke, And with the no smoking law...Business are losing customers and money, So theres no 

doubt business would get a smoking permit, I own a bar and I would pay for my place to be smoking again, And I would 

rather see the money help mass transit! 

Its about time someone or something can benefit from the smokers!</description>
