"Thanks for not blowing smoke
at work, Oregon.”
I used to work outside. Used to smoke, too. Been Inside working in this
warehouse for fifteen years. Quit smoking about that time. But every
time someone else would light up, I’d smell that smoke
in the air, And I'd just want to get away. That was
before the Oregon Smokefree Workplace Law.

Now smoking doesn't work In Oregon. And
I'm breathing a whole lot easier.
