I remember just a few months ago bars and clubs being super packed and now there’s hardly anybody at them. What’s going on?

Edit: I’m in the Los Angeles area

    Down here in Pittsburgh I can still pay $2-4 for a beer, and smoke inside.

        Can’t tell if you’re for or against it.

        I don’t even smoke but I don’t mind it. Lets me know where the cheap dives are and the vibe is better.

          When they made it illegal to smoke it pubs and clubs in the UK, it did a right number on that industry.

            The first few months I was whining about government overreach. Since then I have come to realize what a true boon to humanity the ban really was.

            Now I can’t even fathom how anyone in their right mind would think smoking inside is a reasonable thing to do.

            Edit: also, yeah, people stopped going to bars and drinking after the ban?? LOOL
