Viva Las Vegas ~

Las Vegas is now replacing New Orleans as the most smoke friendly town I've been too in the last year and half ...

Here I am, just days away from my 500 day mile stone and I'm now at a point where I can't believe I used to be a pack and half a day smoker.

The smoke in every casino, hotel lobby and night club was nearly overwhelming to me. It was in no way enticing -- that's not to say I'm never tempted or never crave a cigarette -- it just says a room full of smoke is extraordinarily bothersome to me.

Things are way different than they were just 20 years ago when it comes to the acceptance and tolerance of cigarette smoke. And what seems to be the worst for me, something I used to hear non smokers complain about but never completely understood until the last year, is the smoke that permeates inside every article of clothing you wear out to clubs at night.
