Oh, well, THANK GOD FOR THOSE ANTISMOKING LAWS!
Those damn cigars/cigarettes cover up the stench of death!

So it couldn't have been just the absence of cigarette smoke that made them suddenly notice the smell.
No doubt these sensible citizens, in their wisdom, had also passed a ban on drinking and going to the bathroom in bars.
I'm sure a bar where drinking and going to the bathroom were prohibited would be a much healthier environment for the patrons.
