Smoking Ban Passes in Baltimore

as the clouds lifted
the people kept coming and
our senses awoke

Written by Captain Hops.

References: Baltimore passes smoking ban. As a non-smoker, I am glad this passed. I will most certainly enjoy spending more time at the pub and actually being able to taste my food and beer. Of course, I wish it hadn’t been necessary to pass a ban. I strongly believe that there is a strong market for smoking and non-smoking bars. I am of the opinion that if given the choice, non-smoking bars would attract more customers and make more money. I just don’t know of many non-smoking bars in Baltimore so it was hard to prove that point.

He runs a mean bar
Bums and floozies, drunken flock
No pay, dear? No play!

Response to Optimism

She left real quickly
Lost at the bar, I ponder
Barkeep, suggestions?
