[C5150]

I smoked for 10 years. In college, my town went smokeless. Then got a job up in Seattle. Then Washington went smokeless.

I quit just before the change here in Wash. I was VERY pro-smoking in bars. Figured that smokers have lost most all their rights as it is (can pretty much only smoke in bars and bowling alleys), they should just let smoking stay along side drinking. But I'll have to say - I never realized as a smoker just how bad it smells in bars until I quit. My nose was numb to just how strong of a smell smoking creates.

Been off the sin-sticks for a year now, and have to agree. It's quite nice having non-smoking establishments.

I say the put smokers into a glass box like they do at the airports. As an old smoker - it wouldn't upset me at all - just as long as I didn't have to stand outside in the rain (20 feet min. from the entrance please!).
