Remember when the smoking ban in public places that took place in New York State?  Every bar and restaurant thought it was the end of the world.  It took some getting used to and sure some businesses gave up, but new establishments opened in their place and we all survived the change.

If you travel across the border to Pennsylvania or go down South and stop at a restaurant, seeing someone smoke in a public place may play on your brain a bit.  It still gets me as I've become so accustomed to seeing smokers being treated like second class citizens, outside in the cold.  The ban has actually helped many businesses grow.

A friend of mine sent me a video that dates back to when smoking was common on television.  This video is of Tom Mullica and his "smoking magic."  Watch it and see if it's the card trick Tom is featuring or his love of cigarettes.  A bit long but very funny.
