It's late and I'm on my way home, but I've wanted to [img]graemlins/rant.gif[/img] about this for three days now. NYC banned all cigerettes in bars and restaurants, as did California, and now so has Boston. Bar owners in Chicago are quaking in their boots as the City Council considers doing it here.
I'm sorry, but cigs are about HALF of what a bar is for. Plus, I'm tired of explaining to people from other countries why you can't light a f-ing cigarette in public in "the land of the free." I mean, if there is a market for non-smoking bars, that's fine -- let people go there and have a great time. But, as with many people, the only time I do smoke is when I'm drinking, and it's part of the experience for me.
I'll try to post more serious thoughts later, but if you hear about a city building suddenly imploding in the middle of the night in Chicago, rest assured that ol' Timber finally got wind that the smoking ban had passed into law.
