They have just passed an open container law in Louisiana—for the first time. Who knows what will happen to the drive-in daiqueri stands that stud the countryside? In Alabama, no car inspection is required. In Missouri, a sizeable percentage of drivers don't even have drivers' licenses, and you can do anything at all on your property, including having a hog wallow, without permissions from 50 federal, state and local agencies. Everywhere, smoking is allowed in restaurants and bars. This is a lawless land, except for where I live.
I have a friend in Missouri who drives a pickup with a Kerry bumper sticker as well as one that reads "Proud to be a Vietnam vet." He doesn't smoke, but he says that anyone on an emergency medical team would be well advised to. Apparently, the cellophane on a cigarette pack is the bond of choice on "a sucking wound." He learned this in the Vietnam war. Take off the plastic, slap it on the opening—and voila—a fix while you stabilize the patient.
Reason for smoking today: It could save lives.
