No Smoking

Is it just me, or are smokers disappearing? It seems that almost everyone I know doesn’t smoke, and many of the smokers I do know are quitting (or at least trying to quit). Hell, even my characters don’t smoke or are trying to quit. What the hell?

Has the LA ban on smoking in public establishments really been this effective? Are people not smoking because it’s just so damn inconvenient? I mean, let’s face it, with the weather we’ve been having lately, who wants to go outside for a smoke?

I refuse to believe that those anti-smoking PSAs where a bunch of activists storm the tobacco company are really having this much of an effect. I just don’t buy it. Maybe cigarettes are just too expensive now. But gas is expensive too, and I don’t know anybody taking the bus...

It all sucks, because I just got my cool Zippo lighter fixed, and there are no more cute smokers to light cigarettes for...
