Even twenty years ago, if you went to a bar, you couldn't wear the same jeans to work the next day, because they reeked of smoke.
My city passed an indoor public smoking ban in 2005. At first, when I got a little bit drunk, I'd get nostalgic for the smell of cigarettes. The majority of people didn't smoke, including my friends, but before the ban, you couldn't be in a bar and not be surrounded by the smell of cigarettes. I missed it a little bit.
That nostalgia was outweighed by the benefit of not having a pile of nauseatingly smelly clothes the next day.

- rolenthedeep 4y agoI started drinking after being pressured by a crazy Czech roommate years ago. I also started smoking cigs and weed at the same time. I was in Vegas a few weeks ago, and being able to smoke at the bar was probably my favorite part. Not because I think it's a good thing, but just for the pure nostalgia.
