Mornin' chick! Congrats on putting the cigs down! It's HARD as hell, but can be done!
Believe it or not, but hubby actually took me OUT this weekend. It was a small bar, with a live band (hubby is good friends with a member or else we wouldn't have been there) and smoking wasn't allowed on the inside of the building, only on the outside deck facing the ocean. It was a nice set up. However, I was concerned before getting there how smokey it would be once inside. I was pleased to see the smokers being directed outside due to the smoking ban. Now, as a smoker, I wouldn't have mind going outside because I know there are people who have breathing problems including but not limited to asthma. Ever seen the pic of a fish lying beside a fishbowl full of water? The caption below is burned in my mind....Asthma is like being a fish out of water...
