'Smoke-easys' ignore the tobacco ban

"We can't enforce [the ban]. It's not our job."

I LOVE that quote!

There are plenty of actual speak-easy's in Sweden, that allow smoking. They've been around since before the smoking ban, the smoking ban just gave them a new advantage. They pose as "private member clubs", that don't check membership cards, or they make you "apply for membership" at the door and everyone gets granted. They're a result of high-taxes and restrictive opening hours. Many of them open around 1-2am when the legal bars close. It wouldn't surprise me if they could be found in NH, at least in Manchester.

Interesting, that's the only situation under which bar drinking is legal in Utah
