Sippin' & Dippin'

North Carolina passed a law last week prohibiting smoking in public places. I am not sure whether the law applies to ALL public places, or just indoors. Either way, the law states that it is unfair to force a restaurant worker to participate in "passive smoking" (formerly known as "being exposed to second-hand smoke").

Erin is not ready to make nice on this one yet. So like a true tobacco addict, she's found a way to skirt the law. It's probably not a coincidence that she got the idea to start dipping about two days after she attended her first NASCAR race. Dippin' ain't easy. There are all kinds of issues, other than the obvious ones, like the fact that tobacco doesn't stick together that well, so the dip falls out, and if you forget to spit, you'll barf. Regardless, I have a feeling she'll be a skilled pro by the time the new law takes effect next January, and ready to spit some Skoal in Bev Perdue's eye if given the chance.

Whether you agree or disagree, I still think she should get an A for dedication. Know your rights, ya'll. :)

rachel, i have ordered a monarch901, and should be getting it by this weekend. i've already mentioned this phenom to you before, but i get the feeling i should mention it again.

erin, go to this website and look up what an e-cigarette is. you can smoke them anywhere, including planes and hospitals. all it is is nicotine vapor..... without the carcinogens. BRILLIANT!

Thats pretty interesting, Liz. I wonder how it compares cost-wise to being addicted to Nicorette. That's what I did when I was working, and now it comes in citrus flavor :)
