Thank You for Not Smoking

The city of San Luis Obispo was the first in the nation to ban smoking indoors at bars, restaurants, movie theaters and the like. That decision 19 years ago sparked a trend that changed the landscape of America. Well, SLO-town is at it again. Last night the city council voted to ban smoking at all outdoor public places, such as the popular Mission Plaza and all city parks. While I will welcome the cleaner air, I must say the best side-effect of this measure will be the hoped-for decline in the number of cigarette butts littering the sidewalks and gutters of our fair city.
God I hate that.

  1. On the very, very extremely rare occasion that you get so drunk you decide to bum one and "smoke like a retard" (h/t Amber), where will you do it?
