People think they are so rebellious and original, when really they are just banal, boring and dumb.
Prohibition all over again.
The local Police officers tell me that the only thing the Ohio ban has accomplished is to create large piles of cigarette butts a few yards from every tavern door.
These Smokeasies aren't just a metro thing. In my small town there are a couple of bars where the smoke remains thick. Woe to anyone, in uniform or not, who tries to say {use Wally Cox voice here} "Excuse me sir, you'll have to put that stinky old cigarette out."

Quit complaining and move to Chile, folks, where people smoke like crazy.
Where American brands -- Lucky Strike, Marlboro -- are advertised on TV all day long.
Where teens can buy cigarettes from any newspaper and magazine kiosk, one stick at at time.
Where smoke surrounds you everywhere: in airports, in lobbies, in restrooms, in all bars and restaurants.
Where you can't go anywhere at night without coming home reeking like an ashtray: your skin, hair and clothes.
Cig smoke is an equal opportunity stinkbomb.

"New" cigarette smoke smells good for about two minutes. After that, it gets nasty very quickly.
Pipe smoke smells nasty too, unless it's from aromatic tobacco ... which tastes nasty. (And yes, I'm a pipe smoker.)
Cigar smoke is intolerable to practically everyone who doesn't smoke cigars.

Ah the old "stinky clothes" defense. C'mon Marc, I thought you were more intelligent than THAT.

As a cigar smoker, I don't understand the ban on pipes and cigars, as they usually do smell better than cigarettes. I have some choice thoughts on cigarettes, I'll leave it at this, pipes and cigars are much different, enjoyed in a different manner for different reasons, usually. The "inhale" is not part of the normal cigar or pipe smoking. It tends to be more about relaxation, and enjoying the blender's art.
I'll say no more, because with smoking bans the rage, and those who would deny us the venues to enjoy totally legal products, we should not be in fighting.
I would ask those who favor the bans....why not push for crminialization. To hear you all, who hate tobacco, and smoking, why not make it illegal for us to foul your hair and clothes? That would take guts.

They prefer creeping incrementalism like the stuff that came out of Berkeley around 30 years ago that started all this. First it started with having two sections---smoking and non, now it is just non. Soon it will be non in public and then non even in your own home. They won't have to ban it; it will be legal but illegal to smoke anywhere.
