Look at the calender – we’re in December already which means its 30 days or less to Smoke Free DC!

Ah, to say goodbye to the stale smoke-filled air of your favorite dive.

Particulate that the Surgeon General himself says:”is a serious health hazard that can lead to disease and premature death in children and nonsmoking adults.”

Stink that once gone, may reveal other odors. No matter, those new smells at least don’t kill. And come January, bars and clubs will be a whole new thrill.

Now I can wear styling clothes, fancy threads that need not smoke-smell killing dry cleaning after one use. I can breathe deeply the perfume of a passing supermodel.

I can live large at my own risk – not worried that my bar-top neighbour will kill my lungs. No it is just me killing my brain cells and damning my liver – not yours or you to mine.

Get ready to rejoice DC, this is what our New Year will bring; Smoke Free DC!!
