could you cite a single example of someone, somewhere smoking in a line in a bank or store?

Until ordinances were passed prohibiting it about 15 to 20 years ago (at least in my hometown in the DFW metroplex) it was common for people to smoke in line in banks, grocery stores, the ticket line for the cinema in the mall, etc. I am particularly aware of the banks, because at the time I worked in one.

IIRC, the banks in those halcyon days put ashtrays in front of each tellers window to accomodate their customers.

I personally long for a return of spitoons to the public square.

Please, you know I was talking about today, not 15 or 20 years ago.

Hey, what about Aaron Burr, if we can reach back as far as we want, relevant or not?
