OK. While this sort of legislation inherently rubs me the wrong
way, I won't pretend for a second that I don't like the results.
It's nice to come home not smelling like an ashtray, and
it's genuinely a bit of a shock now when I first enter a bar in
a state that still allows smoking, and I get hit with that first
blast of rank, stale smoke.

However, I think some of the 2nd-hand smoke claims are a
bit specious, and I think that nearly as good results could
be achieved by aggressive ventilation.


When a bar has good filtration and ventillation, as it should, things are not
that bad. I quit smoking for about 6 months several years ago, and bar
hopping became boring. Drinking without smoking was boring to me.
I always liked when someone blew smoke my way. So I started up again.
In the meantime I started the chew. I need to stop smoking because of health
reasons, blood pressure. In the meantime, I'll do what I have to do.
I do like that bar smell. You know that old beer splashed smell. The real smell of
a good old bar.
