And just so the General Board does not give you the wrong impression of things here in the USA, California and possibly Minnesota are the only two states that I am aware of where smoking is not allowed in bars and nightclubs. Most taverns and clubs are still smokey enviornments and the ones I go to seems like 90% of the patrons are smoking. I don't know how many states have banned smoking in resteraunts, but here in New Jersey, most diners and resteraunts still provide smoking sections (except fast food joints like Burger King & McDonalds).
