The first time I realized that CA transplants were numerous enough in other states to start having an effect on them was when Nevada banned smoking in restaurants and bars. Nevada… VICE capital of the country. The state where prostitution is legal in some places… This has to be CA transplants.

Yuck, the smoking bans. They’re almost nationwide and here in Colorado. No smoking in bars. Right, for “health reasons.” I guess they’ve never seen a cirrhotic liver. I remember being in San Francisco once and hearing some people complain about me smoking a cigar — on the sidewalk. Another time I was walking through Berkeley smoking and people were looking at me like I was from Mars. I finally looked up and saw the signs which look like “No Parking Signs” that read “No Smoking.” They’re starting to institute no smoking in public spaces including outdoors. And it all originated from California.
