One thing I will say about the smoking bans in bars -- I'm smoking less. I went out for a coupla beers tonight and noticed a bunch of people were coming out to smoke the second half of a cigarette. I do the same thing now. If we were smoking in the bar, we'd be smoking waaaaaay more than half a smoke every beer or so. The ashtrays would be overflowing.

That being said, I'll probably drink less in bars in the cold weather and that'll affect many bar owners in the 'hood.
