As for bowling alleys, I believe it varies from state to state or maybe even from one lane to another. Here in New Jersey, smoking is still permitted in the bowling alleys (at least the one closest to me). In fact, though I have only been to the lanes a couple of times recently, I ended up posting about them each time as I had great sightings. Once was on a weekday evening when I was looking for a friend of mine who I knew was in a league. It was a co-ed young adult league and I must have seen at least 20, possibly 30 attractive young female smokers there constantly smoking their cigarettes. In fact though I wasn't in the league myself I decided to hang out there with my buddy, his girlfriend, and their friends, for the simple reason that I was enjoying the scenery so much. And just a few weeks ago during Chirstmas week when we were both off from work I met my brother and his 15 year old son at the bowling ally for some late afternoon bowling. Since there was also no school that week the lanes were filled with familys and lots of little kids. Still, in addition to seeing several smoking Moms, I also enjoyed the fact that the 4 female employees there were smoking openly and often.

I really wasn't that much of a lady's man in high school either. But by my Junior and Senior year I was friendly with some of the smoking girls. It was still pretty much a big tease to me though. One of the best days was high school graduation. I'll always remember after the commencement ceremonies, hugging and kissing many of the girls who were still in cap and gowns and had just lit up after the long ceremonies.

In our school we were not allowed to leave the building during the school day. So except for before school and after school there were no sightings. However, this resulted in two things that would work it's magic on my libido. Before and after school the addicted girls would smoke like fiends. And also they would sneak into the girl's room often and wolf down their cigarettes during the course of the day. Two memories I have that got a rise out of me that probably lasted all day were:

1). In homeroom one Monday morning I was standing by my seat before the bell rang. The girl who sat in front of me was a very sexy, very pretty, and well endowed Winston smoker named Valerie. She entered homeroom as I was still standing by my desk after probably smoking several cigarettes in a row outside. She walked up to me and started teasing me by pressing her body against mine, caressing my face with one hand and playing with my hair with the other, as she sarcastically asked: "And how was your weekend Mike?" She was soft, sexy, and reeked of tobacco and I am sure I had to walk to and from my classes with my books in front of me for the rest of the day.

2). One day in the middle of history class a sexy gal named Debbie asked for permission to go to the ladies room in the middle of class. Permission was granted and she was gone for about 5 minutes. She walked right past my seat as she returned and the smell of smoke on her was overpowering. It made me dizzy and horny at the same time.

I ran into Debbie several years later at a club as she was with her boyfriend (now husband) a former teammate of mine and a member of the band playing at the club. When he saw me he dedicated a song in my honor as Debbie stood up at the table she was at and waved to me. I joined her and couldn't believe it but she had quit smoking (she was such a hard core smoker in high school). She was at my recent high school reunion though, and I joined her and 3 of her close friends from school outside for a smoke. She had not forgotten how, that is for sure.
