Until a few years ago, if you were drinking at the Tiki-Ti Bar on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles and you wanted to have a smoke, you could just light one up there and then.
Back 35 years ago, the bankers I worked for would have three martinis for lunch and then return to smoke their cigars. The only thing worse than the smoke fog in their office was the fog in their head from the martinis. This explains how we went from 15,000 banks back then to less than 4,600 today. Those cigar smoking, martini lunching bankers were like the dinosaurs.
