Come on folks, the market will take care of everything, right? I can tell the
list that the smoking scene in Minneapolis bars is far from dead--you just
need to know where to go. It's like New York after the smoking ban there--if
you knew where to go it was only a matter of time before the bouncer would
light up a smoke and then before one knew what happened, cigarettes a blazin
all around the bar.
I'm not old enough to have experienced it myself (although I dream in the
50's often) but didn't we used to have medical doctors endorsing their
preferred brand of cigarettes on television and the radio? Times change and
we need to change with them.
And after a long day of being over worked, under compensated,
underappreciated and less than celebrated, I am still very happy to belly up
to the bar and have a beer (and maybe even a shot!) to unwind--all without the
cigarette that used to accompany said beer and shot. If the ban didn't help
me to quit smoking, I would be fine with stepping outside to filter some fresh
air through my burning stick of tobacco too.
