Talk for hours and tip the waitress $20 for drinking coffee.
I know smoking is bad, but so are a bunch of other things. That's not the point. The point is miss the way things were when I was growing up. We use to hang out and drink coffee and smoke partly because coffee is cheap and so were cigarettes, but we didn't drink alcohol.
I'm just sick and tired of this boring damn country!
Brother, I hear you loud and clear. I am all for that!! The only downside I see is those folks who don't smoke always smell like stale smoke after exiting those places. I, myself, like the smell of second hand smoke. My mom smoked all her life until she got lung cancer and the doctors told her to quit. But every time I still smell someone smoking it reminds me of my mom.....good memories. But I just don't like smelling like smoke because someone else want so smoke in an enclosed space. But I do get your angst!!!
Yeah I would rather deep fry my balls than breathe in cigarette smoke. My mom smoked my whole life too and I would always yell at her to quit as a kid because my esophagus closes up. I guess I'm allergic? I'm pretty sure it's the chemicals in them.
