How dare these citizens flaunt the law and challenge the authority of a Health Department official. The officious officials at the Health Department are far smarter than these rube citizens, they know what is good for them. Get in line, you evil, tobacco smoking citizens. Bureaucrats and politicians will keep you under their thumb.
Just a side note, if it was marijuana you were smoking, it would be ok, because afterall, marijuana is medicine and it is good for you.

A giant playbill greets patrons at the door to one of the two neighboring bars dotting Main Street in the former town of Elko.

Inside, the bouncer — excuse me, usher — checks a visitor’s ID and makes sure she is aware of tonight’s performance.

For just $2, this visitor can also get a badge and become an actor if she cares to smoke as part of the performance at the Bullseye Saloon in Elko New Market.
