So that's what I did wrong on slow nights.

Exactly. Is there any other way of doing this?

Yeah, but sometimes bad decisions are the best ones.

I would say the same is true for a lot of the other business regulations that exist. When everyone is playing by the same rules you don't need to make a decision based on how much money you will lose to the guy next door who is willing to let people smoke. In theory, it would sort itself out, but in reality, every place pretty much let smokers in one way or another so they weren't cutting out a percentage of people who wouldn't come there.


The demographics have completely shifted in less than 20 years.

10% of young people smoke. Even less than 10% of affluent young people.

Catering to an old, poor crowd isn't a winning formula for the food service industry. 20 years ago you could have positioned yourself as the alternative by not allowing smoking. Today, you would have to position yourself as the alternative by allowing it. Smoking establishments would be niche places for hipsters to discuss the quality of NC versus Turkish tobacco.

Are we counting vaping in the 10%? Because it seems like every Gen-Zer vapes. Great world we live in when you can only cope with it by depending on constant doses of concentrated nicotine.

Yet the places that were exempt from the ban almost always have it as something that is allowed today. We are talking about the trendiest casinos in Las Vegas that are specifically targeting young people.

It's theoretically possible that bars would have all decided to stop allowing smoking but it certainly wasn't happening at the time of the ban.

Inneresting. The poor decisions women make are usually based on the hotness or bank account of a guy (others, not me :D )Never factored smoking into make poor sexual decisions, of course I didn’t make a whole lot of poor sexual decisions. :twisted:

Las Vegas is essentially a city people visit to indulge their vices before returning home to how they live normally.

I started bingeing MadMen the other night while waiting for the next rain storm to ruin my hay making fun. I had heard Hamm talking about the smoking aspect of the show, but the constant, ubiquitous smoke clouds are almost distracting. Reminded me of my Aunt/Uncles/cousins on the holidays.

I can remember moving to the back of an airplane to sit in the smoking section and light up, but I think every seat had an ashtray still. The score tables at the bowling alleys had ashtrays build right into them.

Any girl willing to put a short, skinny white thing that tastes terrible in her mouth, well,,,

Peaky Blinders seems like an advertisement for Irish whiskey and cigarettes with a little story just to keep the interest.

There's a whole "women smoking" fetish, Spaulding. Now you know. You educated me on the Fleshlight and now I hope I've returned the favor.

Cigarette vending machines too. Different time.

I’m about to go work up a field with hopes we dodge a rain shower so I can put in double crop beans... first crop was lambs quarter, horse weed and curly dock but you know.. it was a hell of a crop.
