The bars in the major metro's are always packed with beautiful people and wonderfully smoke free. The cloud of smoke indoors is appalling when you are accustomed to more progressive atmosphere. Going out in Charlotte is sadly like going back in time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774430512836131223.post-20820520770317896942008-01-24T21:22:00.000-05:002008-01-24T21:22:00.000-05:00Every bar owner in Charlotte can make their bar sm...Every bar owner in Charlotte can make their bar smoke free. If you don't like the smoke, tell her owner they should go smoke free. It won't necessarily hurt their business.

On 2 different nights, my smoker sisters and I,the only non-smoker, went to a few different bars and the fact that it was non-smoking didn't really make a difference at all. Both places were packed despite the freezing temperatures and technically it wasn't totally smoke free. It wasn't hard to find an outdoor patio or courtyard that would a couple heat lamps that would keep people warm while they enjoyed their smoke break. It was so great being able to go out and not come home smelling like a giant cigarette. I personally can't wait for NC to become smoke-free and it sure sounds like I'm not alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774430512836131223.post-32465067637610799042008-01-23T15:46:00.000-05:002008-01-23T15:46:00.000-05:00To the first comment, get over yourself.

No telling with this particular fella, but who really cares. <BR/><BR/>As far as the smoking goes, I agree that we will eventually be smoke free. As a casual smoker it doesn't necessarily bother me. It will take time to adjust but it's for the greater good. In the meantime, if it's a smoking establishment, smoke up! Just be semi courteous, that's all most people really ask.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774430512836131223.post-11265413478880732982008-01-23T15:45:00.000-05:002008-01-23T15:45:00.000-05:00Agree Non-Smoker!
