I guess posting in French makes you look even cooler than smoking, heh heh. 

Smoking: I haven't smoked for eight years. I hate secondhand smoke constantly 
being blown in my face while I'm working. I hate being a tobacco pusher in 
addition to pusher of booze ( no problem there). Smoking sucks and it's 
disgusting and I can't freaking believe it's still legal. 
BUT: I lived in San Francisco a couple of years ago, and as a nonsmoker I felt 
that it was really weird being in a bar which did not allow smoking. It was 
like being somewhere else as a precursor to the real bar which never 
materialized. The most fucked up part was that you can't take your drink 
outside with you while you smoke. What the hell is that all about? If you 
smoke, then drinking = smoking. You can't have one without the other ( I'm 
saying this as a former smoker). It just doesn't make sense. It was eerily 
similar to junior high, when if you want to hang out with the cool kids, then 
you go where they smoke. But, again, you can't take your drink with you! Does 
not compute. They need to provide for outdoor drinking at California bars.

Of course, none of this makes no difference to me because I live in a 
third-world colony, the last city in th U.S. to raise the drinking age from 18 
to 21 (back in the 1990's, and only then because the federal govt threatened 
to withold highway funds). Smoking and drinking (as well as gambling and 
prostitution) will always be considered national sports here.
