Neither in my home city of Chicago, nor my current residence in the state of California can you smoke anywhere indoors! There was a time when I considered myself to be a social smoker. I'd occaisionally light up in a bar because everyone else is - and then your brain starts to combine the desire to smoke with the the desire to drink. Now, nobody in the bar smokes. It was a bit strange at first but now it's fantastic. Unless I'm invited to participate in a native american ritual in the near future, I can't envision myself in a setting where I will ever want a cigarette again!

We don't have cliffs, but my mom said "if all your friends went into a lobster trap, would you do it too?" So I didn't raise my hand. I have a claw, anyhow.
