Default smoking

A couple weeks ago, I was out at the bar and the owners son passed out cigars.
We had several smoking them. I still have mine, since I was using a cigarette.
We still have some smoking here in these parts. I really hate drinking without smoking.
A couple bars I go to have at least 80-90% smoking rate. Well, I just thought it a shame to
prohibit smoking when most want to in a place, and they go there to do that and drink beer.

It's non-smoking trolls who have the breath of a dingo.

The punishment for spammers and trolls should be a
..45 caliber sexual sterilization.

Perhaps, but the smoking trolls have the breath of a dingo's
arse.

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.

About 2 months after I quit smoking about 4 years ago, I realized I was
tasting things in beers that I'd never tasted before. AFAIAC, if you
truly appreciate beer, smoking can ruin a good part of that
appreciation.

And that's just for the person who is doing the smoking.

One thing, I don't usually go to a bar to drink. I go to a bar for entertainment.
Drinking is done with the lightest beer available.

Ruining what?

If its about smoke, perhaps you forgot, most all are smoking. If there
was others, they seemed to enjoy to be there.
