well the state of maryland just placed a smoking ban on all restaurants and bars. they thought it would hurt the business, but its actually made it better IMO. its so nice to be able to go in and have a few drinks and when you go to leave, you dont smell like smoke. but when someone does go outside to smoke and then comes back in, when they walk past it makes you cough because they reek of smoke. one of the reasons i got rid of my ex, she started smoking.
