the city is really, legitimately trapped in a time warp - and the attitudes people have to smoking are one of the most obvious components of it.
the young people seem to be a bit better.
but, the sad and pathetic fact is that most of the people over 40 here were never told "you can't smoke here" until 2015-ish, and are still having trouble adjusting to it.
they just don't think it's a serious issue.
