I finally quit (for a variety of reasons) when the smoking laws became so Draconian here. There's nothing quite like spending a relaxed evening with friends and drinks at a bar/pub. Having to get up periodically, interrupt the conversation and go shiver your tukus off in the parking lot, just didn't cut it. As a result, everything cut back. I only "hang out" at bars when I am teaching skiing (at the end of teaching) and when I am staying on the mountain.
I haven't been to a bar just for the hell of it since I quit smoking.
