(1) Sometime in the past on this board, I recall posting about a smoking girl I saw at another McDonald's who had an unusual exhale technique.
(2) A good thing about Florida is we generally enjoy balmy weather and have numerous open-air eateries. These are good places for sightings because smokers really enjoy a cig after a meal.
(3) I always enjoy reading Mark's post because they are so graphic.
(4) It seems to me about 30% of the white women in Florida smoke. Less so the white men. Among African Americans here, the men seem to do most of the smoking. Ascian Americans seems to smoke little. Latinos here seems about 25% of men and women smoke.
(5) I don't know if smokers or non-smokers go out in public more. And of course I wouldn't kknow all the closet smokers.

: On New Year's Eve, we were
: traveling to my Mother's
: home (about a 6-hour
: journey) and stopped for
: a snack at McDonalds
: (the 10-year-old's
: choice)about 8 PM.
: After we stopped, an SUV
: driven by a mother
: dangling a long white
: pulled into the adjacent
: parking space (kids in
: the back seat). We got
: out of the van and
: walked to the building
: where I saw 3 ladies
: around the entrance
: smoking (they were in
: the company of two
: non-smoking men). Two
: very pretty ones
: (mid-20s I think) were
: puffing on long whites.
: The third was middle
: aged and talking on her
: cell phone. Did not get
: to see any drags by her.
: BTW, the temp was in
: the 50s - cold for
: Florida - and the women
: were generally wearing
: jeans and sweaters or
: jackets. After ordering
: the food, we sat in a
: booth by the window.
: Then two of the counter
: girls slipped outside.
: They looked like older
: teens - say 18 to 19.
: One was a brunette on
: the robust side and the
: other a skinny blonde.
: I spied the brunette
: cluthing two
: brown-filtered
: cigarettes and a lighter
: in her hand. She put
: one cig firmly between
: her lips and handed the
: other to the blonde. She
: sparked up the lighter,
: lit her friend's cig,
: and then her own. The
: tip of brunette's cig
: glowed brightly as she
: made hard drags followed
: by 3-second holds. Good
: puffy exhales and some
: talking exhales. The
: blonde however was less
: aggressive in her
: technique. I suppose
: she was still learning
: to smoke. While taking
: our meal, I casually
: noticed a man and woman
: enter the restaurant.
: The women went back
: outside as the man
: waited for their order.
: We finished and left.
: Just outside the door,
: the casually-noticed
: woman was enjoying a
: cigarette. As we headed
: to our vehicla, the man
: came out and he and the
: woman walker to their
: car. My own wife now
: had to light up a
: Marlboro Light (her
: latest prepference)while
: the kids got back into
: their seats and buckled
: up. Being chilly' she
: quickly smoked half the
: cig and thumped it
: before getting in
: herself.
:
: The neat thing about
: this sighting, is most
: of the women I saw in
: this instance were
: smokers, and I did not
: see any men smoking.
