Review of Richmond, Virginia


Smoke, Smoke Everywhere
Star Rating - 3/9/2007
I am still amazed that the capitol of VA is still allowing public smoking everywhere...........restaurants..........smoking sections.......as George Carlin once said "Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a pool"


Lots to do here.... great restaurants, art & culture abound but the smoking policies prohibit attending......so much for that.......Philip Morris does have their national/world headquarters here..........what did I expect? The low cost of living does not make up for the backward health policies.

If Richmond is smoker-friendly, I'm ready to move there. Happy is healthy.

L. lea, Does Phillip Morris and R.J. Reynolds ring a bell? The two largest Cigarette makers are in Richmond and bring millions to the economy. The great part is how much cheaper the smokes are than the rest of the state..
