Oregon's new smoking ban won't go into effect until July of 2009, leaving me enough time to ponder this: if spending an hour in the Horse Brass on a busy night is the equivalent of chain smoking 10 unfiltered cigarettes (my own guesstimate), what's it going to be like after July '09? Regardless of the upcoming ban, it's going to take years for that place to air out.
