This lady stopped by one of the diner's windows & wanted to know if we sold ciggs. When we told her that we don't sell them she demanded to know why. "Cause we're a diner? is what the cook said. Lady had a fit and stormed off...lol.

Quoth strawbabies View PostI think that years and years ago, restaurants used to sell cigarettes. At the very least, when I was a kid, I remember seeing cigarette vending machines at a lot of them.I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

Quoth taxguykarl View PostMost cities banned such vending machines because there was no way to practically stop kids from using them...Come to think of it, a lot of states have banned smoking in restaurants in the first place.Sometimes life is altered.

Quoth strawbabies View PostAnd I'm glad they did! It used to be gross eating at a restaurant, even if I was in the non-smoking section, because the whole place would reek. Now I actively avoid places that allow smoking indoors, like bars and casinos.
Indoor venues (bars, nightclubs etc)
Outdoor venues under a covered roof
Restaurants
I jumped for joy, as a nightclub photographer I'd come home smelling like an ashtray.... and coughing for the next 24-48 hrs.

Quoth Ironclad Alibi View PostThat happened to me when I was a kid. I bought my first pack of cigarettes in a diner near my school. Unfortunately, someone who saw me knew my father and told him, who confiscated the cigarettes before I even had a chance to open them."Sigh, I'm going to Hell.....but I'm going with a smile on my face." -- Gravekeeper

Few bars around here still have cigarette vending machines (although, they are a dollar or more a pack than at gas stations), and most bars have a supply of Marlboros and Camels behind the counter for extra than usual, of course.
We can smoke in all casinos around here, I think they all have smoke shops. I know I can go through near a pack in just a couple of hours gambling.You really need to see a neurologist. - Wagegoth

The last time I saw a machine in a building was in the early 90's. It was a pool hall/restaurant in Lock Haven PA. I recall there being that "Must be at least this old" signs around at the time, so maybe it was one of the last holdouts for the area.But the paint on me is beginning to dry
