Dear Ambush Magazine,I went down to the quarter for New

Years with friends who flew in from outof state. What should have been a reallyfun evening for all of us, sadly, wasspoiled by the incredibly smoky atmo-sphere in the bars. While we certainlycan understand the correlation betweendrinking and smoking, those who in livein states with smoke-free bars just stepoutside for a minute when they need apuff. In New Orleans it’s no big deal, youcan still take your drink with you out-side and most of the bars also havebalconies. The heavy smoke botheredmy eyes, and all of us stank of stalesmoke when we finally left for the evening.The following morning, my lungs felt rawfrom breathing in other people’s smoke.When is our city finally going to get withthe times and provide a smoke-freescene that we can all enjoy every night?

--Eric M. K., New Orleans
