Things are improving immensely here with no smoking laws. The restaurants are smoke free and so are most buildings where people work and people have to go in. I believe the sports venues are as well or they are talking about it. It works for me, a non smoker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-45841680835085559772008-04-30T16:09:00.000-07:002008-04-30T16:09:00.000-07:00Trish, it must truly be an addiction, because it i...Trish, it must truly be an addiction, because it is sooo gross.<BR/><BR/>elPadawan, yes yes yes yes...there are things I miss.<BR/><BR/>Hulagirl, I also have long hair...which is why I had a towel on my head when I typed, I cannot stand the stink of my hair all smokey in my nice clean bed...*shudder*<BR/><BR/>DD, HEY!

I made it know to all that there was no smoking around me... so have become known as 'the intolerant one'. It is just plain disgusting... and there is no way I can go to sleep if it is in my hair.<BR/><BR/>BTW the only place I could find for my poor hard-done husband to listen to the game was the Barcelona Team website (they even broadcast in English) I picked up some serious brownie points when I found it for him..

Hoping for a total ban in closed places !<BR/><BR/>Wish I could tell you the sound in the Palau was terrific but it was a Milton Nascimento/bossa nova concert and first we thought the drummer was too loud but then the public shouted that too, so there was some imbalance there. It was also part of the 19th guitar festival so more guitar was expected... But it was a fantastic evening anyways and it is such a beautiful concert hall- it took us years to go there... you know how it goes!!MaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04627282961669893082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-60389860502992570652008-04-30T00:56:00.000-07:002008-04-30T00:56:00.000-07:00I really don't miss those days when everything sme...I really don't miss those days when everything smelled like smoke. It not only used to affect the waymy clothes and hair smelled, but made my chest and throat kind of ache as well. It's now such a relief that one can find oxygen in pubs! Only snag I've notice now though, is that if you want to sit in a beer garden, a lot of smokers sit out there and light up. Ok it's not an enclosed space so much, but it's still unpleasant. In my experience, (student days) Febreeze is a miracle product, but somethimes that doesn't even work fully! And it's true about boo and trevs sweat and fart comment, but I hasten to add that its not like that in more refined establishments!
