I was looking at some comments on Boston Common on Boston's smoking ban that started today. I think it is going to be really interesting to see how this all works out. Now, I'm someone who doesn't smoke, but up until recently never really minded it unless it was really bad. But that all changed a few years ago when I started having lung problems. Now even a little bit of smoke can cause discomfort. For the most part I just avoided dealing with this by not going out. But it was difficult. Friends would be heading out to see DJs or bands that I'd want to see and i really couldn't go. Now I can, at least in Boston. I'm pretty psyched about it all. Time to rediscover Boston.
Now, we just need Cambridge to get the message too. Anyone else find it odd that Boston went no-smoking and Cambridge hasn't yet?
