Nowadays, the machines are still around but I think a credit card is needed to buy the smokes. France and Germany have even banned smoking in public places like bars and cafes -- *that* wasn't popular.

Maybe you can in some parts of the US, I don't know. I haven't seen a place where you can smoke inside in a long time. There's a lot of places where you can't smoke outside now, too... Now all of the dive bar derelicts pile up smoking on the sidewalks outside the bars, and the kids need to wade through them to get to the stores.

I don't like smoking inside anyway... or I don't like smoking... and I like it less inside.

Heh. This coming from a guy who was served tequila by his dad's two naked dancing "girlfriends" one night until mom had to call me in sick to the first grade teacher the next day. In junior high (I think they call it Middle School now) we had a smoking area, but you needed a permission slip from your parent(s) to use it. In high school, no permission slip was needed, and I used to lace my ciggy with a little pot and stand there getting high WHILE talking to the principal or the anal bitch vice-prince before blowing off class to get drunk in the parking lot with the punkers (a little Denver band called Happy World - miss those guys, I do..) Off to kill myself now. My girlfriend has destroyed me.

Oddly, though, I look on the cigarette vending machines with a touch of sentiment as they always catapult me back to when I was twelve years old and I recall thirteen-year-old Denise being daring and buying cigarettes from them :-) I hated smokers when I was into candy cigarettes (I was highly allergic to smoke, still am... that's why I don't like smoking indoors), but I thought it was funny to mimic them. Maybe this was good... mimic with candy, instead of with actual cigarettes as many kids do. Unfortunately I was off the candy cigarettes when I snuck into the actual cigarettes. ;) But I remember Griffin trying to make real cigarettes around the age I was eating candy cigarettes, so it definitely would've been better for him to go for the candy ones. Yeah, it's all pretty nostalgic. 2 nights ago Bruce and I were sitting in a Denny's that has been standing since the Big Boom (well, maybe not, but I don't recall it ever not being there) and he mentioned that he hadn't been in there since you could smoke there. Yep. Many a Denny's I sat around smoking and chugging coffee in when I was young. There's really not a lot to them without bottomless coffee cups and overflowing ash trays... I never had any trouble buying cigarettes as a kid. It wasn't until I was an adult that I started getting carded for things. I actually managed to get carded for alcohol while 20, which was annoying because I was so close and I'd never been carded before. Maybe that was because I'd been drinking in restaurants, and when I was 20 I finally started trying to go to bars. They pay a bit more attention at bars on Colfax, because the police can be prone toward paying a lot of attention to them. -- Te wo Tsunaide '08: A Pair Go Tournament Saturday, December 6th, in Boulder Colorado http://cyberpsychos.netonecom.net/PairGo Also home of the Te wo Tsunaide photo archive!
