Non Smokers punch Smokers in the Face, Yet Again

In case you didn't hear this, Houston recently passed a law prohibiting smoking at bars. It was a huge blow to smokers everywhere that was simultaneously greeted by a huge "Yes!" from non-smokers. Many people are divided, with some thinking that bars won't be able to survive this change.

Personally, I couldn't care less about their tears. While I wished it was passed years ago, when I went to bars more often, it's so refreshing to be able to come home and not stink like shit. A non-smoker has to immediately take a shower after a night in a bar. Furthermore, when they get back into their car the next morning, the smell is there again. To remind you of your previous night, good memories or not.

Sure, smokers are pissed they can't smoke now. They act like it's a civil rights issue and I can see their point. But at the same time, if I want to see a band perform I have to suffer through it because of them. So it goes both ways. While I've gotten used to the smell, it's my eyes that are the most happy. Virtually everytime I see a band at Rudyards, I have to go outside during sets just to refresh my eyes. Sometimes, during "my" bands set, the smoke becomes so stifling I cannot take it and have to leave in the middle of a song. It's a major inconvenience I don't have to worry about anymore. And similar to the inconvenience smokers will have to endure by going outside to light one up now. Welcome to the other side of the fence assholes. I hope you enjoy it!
