Atlas Smoked.

ND man becomes Randian superhero.

An excerpt:

Dennis Laches, owner of a television repair and laundromat, posted a sign on the door that said he's closed up shop because of the new [anti-smoking]
law.

Even an intercession by Mott Mayor Troy Mosbrucker on Tuesday afternoon
didn't change his mind.

Laches, 59, a smoker himself, said if he can't legally smoke in his own
building, he won't keep it open.The laundromat owner said the business barely
paid its own bills anyway, but if he can't be there all day like he usually is
to keep an eye on the water pipes and fuse box, he won't be there at all.

Mosbrucker tried to persuade him to open it a couple of hours a week for
the custom cutters, at least, but Laches said they should blame the
inconvenience on state leaders, not him.
