to the mayor of philadelphia...

*big fat round of applause*

for not only passing a smoking ban into law, but enforcing it right away. from now on, when i go out in the city, i will not come home reeking of smoke... and i will not have to leave early because my eyes or lungs are burning from everyone puffing around me. (and i say this as a former smoker who one day woke up and realized what the hell i was doing to my body, and the people around me, and quit.)

YAY to that, i say. YAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!
