There were a lot of American pubs which we call bars or dives that have closed in the last 15 years.

Local joints some of which had some pretty good food at reasonable prices.

But the no smoking rules put them out of business.

The franchises could survive without smokers but not the local joints.

I’m not a smoker nor have I ever been a smoker, but I had no problem with smoking.

What has survived is some places that have video poker which really sad.

Lonely people sitting in front of screen passing time throwing their money away.

Drink prices at bars are insane these days as well.
