The great smoke-out

I've smelled a noticeable rise in smoking in the city in the past few weeks - I blame icky weather and declining economy. It starts in my building - every morning my neighbors apartment smells like a teen-age boys car - stale cigarettes and bad pot. Walking to work I'm constantly getting the smoke machine treatment only not from a machine, from the puffers on the streets. The odd (sad) thing is the majority of these puffers are centered around banks and financial institutes.

All I want for Christmas is some clean city air - I'll take the sewer smell over ciggies any day. Cigars? That's another story.
