although i don't smoke cigarettes. i work in several different night clubs and restaurants at night and i have seen a huge difference. Restaurants are not packed like they use to be. Wait staff has been laid off.

In the clubs, a cigarette and alcohol almost go hand and hand. Working as a bouncer, i spent alot of time chasing down people that step outside to take a cigaerette break and don't come back to pay the bill. It's crazy.

i hate when the smoke gets in my hair. But i hate when my boss calls me and tells me he does not need me at night because sales are down.

New York has become some what of a police state. no smoking in clubs and restaurants, no open containers on the street, they try to pull that no smoking in yoru car. i think that is too much.
