22. Smoking Indoors

thingsmykidswontknow:

Everyone knows jeans don’t get dirty.

You can seriously wear them like 200 to 250 times in a row before you have to consider a toss to the laundry basket. And even then, you don’t need to wash them. It’s just a kind of nice way to treat them after almost a year’s worth of dedication.

The only thing that screwed this equation up is when you would hang out at a smoky bar. When you got home, everything reeked. Your jeans, your shirts, and your hair. It was awful.

I don’t smoke, but even my friends who did smoke hated leaving a bar while still smelling like one.

Thankfully, New Jersey and many other states banned smoking while you were inside a bar. It was one of the last places left that you were allowed to smoke indoors.
