    I remember growing up in Ohio when we banned smoking, there were commercials CONSTANTLY about it.

    Smoke FREE Ohio vs smoke LESS Ohio.

    And even in school I could tell that smoke LESS Ohio was going to force places that didn’t have smoking, to allow smoking in certain areas.

    And the guy in the commercial for it acted incredulous that they would ban smoking in bars! The horror! A place where people are densely packed clearly should be filled with cancerous death fog, slowly killing people who want to be at the bar but not partake in death sticks.

    I was super happy when the ban happened. I hated going to nearby states without the smoking ban.

    It took years for golden corral to stop smelling like shit.

      I don’t remember those commercials but yeah I remember when my eyes stopped hurting when we went out to eat and how nearby states just sucked until they joined in.

      My family were nearly all nonsmokers even my grandparents, and so it was something I was only really exposed to in restaurants and my parents hated it too

        I’ll never forget the punchability of the guys face as he goes “[They want to ban smoking] in bars. That right! In bars!
