    The banning of cigarettes in bars and restaurants made a huge difference. It used to be when you’d get into the shower the morning after going out, you’d reek of cigarettes. It was mind-blowing when that went away.

      I remember when our family would go bowling, my parents made us all change our clothes as soon as we got home because of the cigarette reek. I’m so glad those days are gone.

      For real, the first time I went to a bar in a county that had banned smoking indoors was amazing. My clothes (and by extension, my dorm room) no longer reeked when I got home. Going out to dinner at any restaurant prior to that point just meant that all my food smelled like cigarettes, regardless of sitting in the non smoking area. I can’t believe it took so goddamn long to ban it indoors.

      I hated going to bars. The fucking taste of cigarettes would permeate through the back of my throat. Is wake up the next day with a scratchy throat and dry mouth.
