Lighting up

I went to lunch today with a friend of mine. We decided to go to a little sushi restaurant in HB. Towards the end of the meal I noticed a little plume of smoke that seemed to be coming from a table on the other side of the room. I took a closer look, because I was certain that I must be mistaken. I wasn't, one of the other patrons was casually smoking a cigarette as though he were just relaxing on a park bench. I tried to get a picture, but the cigarette was too small for me to get a good picture on the phone camera. I kept waiting for someone to approach him and ask him to put it out. Perhaps he owns the place or something, because for the duration of our stay there he openly waived it around and puffed away at the thing. When's the last time you saw someone smoking in a public building? I couldn't stop staring, I don't know if it's been decades, but it felt like it.
