How has the smoking ban effected the Lawrence social scene?

Jason Roe, Kansas University senior, Iola

“It’s nice to be able to go places and not smell other people’s smoke.”

Patrick Stallbaumer, KU senior, Roeland Park

“Just from having friends who minded the smoke in the bars, I know they went out to the bars more. People are just more conscious about smoking in general, even when at people’s houses.”

Asha Wilbanks, KU senior, Lawrence

“I think people are still smoking, just outside instead of inside. It’s nice not having to worry about smoke getting blown in your face when you go out dancing.”
