Well i hate accidental cigarettes smoke smell. It makes me wanna cough. Especially if i am eating it sucks even more. But i also hate purism. I think late night jazz pub without smoke is like rubbersex. These days a law will came into force in Slovenia that prohibits smoking in public places. It also bans bar smoking. So one to get dizzy can only drink alcohol or smack each other on the head. I don't like it. There should be bars for smokers. And those death infostickers are out of this world.

You remember that movie playing S. Stallone "Demolition Man" about Dystopic Future? True that it might be stupid action flic but it has very strong idea about two class society mostly distinctive about one having virtual sex without body fluids and other in contrast eating rat burgers. I think if goverment is leading the society into one kind of class there will always be another pole that will kick ass back. In this metter i also oppose catholicism gaining power (other religions elsewhere). Religion promotes purism in extrem. I guess i am waiting for another flower power to begin.
Hopefully for good.

Since i am in the right mood i will write some more of my philosophical crap. Talking about the health and cancer issue: you get statistics that by smoking you get cancer. So let's check that out:
- take out the extrem smokers smoking too much (i say a pack each day is already too much)
- take out the folks living in the city (who can separate lung cancer from smog induced)
- take out cosmetcs (all those prespirants, titanium stuff in the tooth paste...)
- take out food aditives
- take out microfibers in clothes, sofas, chairs (it's all synthetic and i guess it doesn't dissolve faster in lungs then outside; it's also anttibacterial but as we know not all bacteria and microorganism living in our body is bad)
- take out those that have terrible air on their jobs

Think of it again. Enjoy your sins equaly distributed;).

In the state of Illinois, there are a lot of "no smoking" restaurants also. I like the colors a lot.

.....then you would take out half of America! There are ALOT of folks here who smoke 2 or 3 packs a day!......But I don't smoke but LOVE the smell of a cigarette outside....reminds me of my grandmother, sitting outside on the porch of her old Victorian house and smoking when I was a child. **sigh**...indoors, I choke! I have asthma, so I can't be around it indoors!
Oh......the pic is wonderful, nice detail and the close crop is great!

Hi Jure,

"I think late night jazz pub without smoke is like rubbersex" Has got to be the funniest line I've seen for a while

But I agree, in UK there is a smoking ban in force now. I quit cigarettes a while back now adn even though I don't like the smell on my clothes it just not the same atmosphere.

Good shot, I like the golden/nicotine tones :-)

Thanks for the line!

Nice use of light here, and yes, you remind me an old joke about rubber sex being equivalent to eating chocolate through the aluminum wrapping.

Hi Jure,
Impressive work with light!!!
And concerning the note, I basically agree, except for the cosmetics issue... I must say nothing is wrong wit antipersipants, Al and Ti salts... Sorry, but defending my job as a chemsit... And, I totally agree with the danger of "bad air" in jobs....The worst, without doubt! Marta
