Dunno about the rest of you, but as an ex-smoker myself, I can testify to the kind of appeal this might have...

The only part of the article I found really interesting was at the end, where it talks about how clever people are evading Big Stupid Government (in both cases under Republican governors):

In Manhattan, plenty of places get classified as tobacco bars and so avoid New York's 2003 ban. Joseph Melamed of the Gypsy Café in Westwood, California, has another strategy. He says that California's smoking ban was enacted to protect employees, not patrons (who can choose to boycott the bar). So he has taken advantage of an exemption for owner-operated bars with no employees, and made his employees part-owners.

American ingenuity isn't dead just yet.

I tried to buy a hookah the other day, but she wanted to charge too much.
