If It Makes You Quit Smoking, Well, That's Probably The Goal

Smoking bans are old-hat for people in places like California, but in Bismarck, ND, where they're finally getting around to banning smoking in bars and restaurants, there's an issue that doesn't come up in, say, San Diego: cold weather. You can't very well step out of a bar for a smoke if it's, like, twenty below zero. So local bars and restaurants are trying to come up with solutions, like building little shelters -- "smoke shacks" -- to keep the smokers from freezing to death. Smoking, freezing, either way, you die. (Bismarck Tribune; Thanks to Jim Walsh for the link)
