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. greg |

I hear troll but no comments. I have no idea what they talk about. I did want to get comments. 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. greg |

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. like good sound system, good band, or flashy women. i usually don't get out to sports bars. Which means you're on the wrong newsgroup.

If there was others, they seemed to enjoy to be there. greg |
