Smoke ’Em If You Got ’Em: Our Guide to Places Where You Can Still Light Up
Cigarette smoking may be completely unhealthy and out of fashion, but almost a year after the Michael Nutter-led citywide smoking ban finally went into effect, we still see quite a few of you out there on the streets puffing away. As the city gets cold and wet, we wanted to make sure you had a dry place for butts and booze, so we’ve put together this handy little guide to Philadelphia bars where you can legally smoke, thanks to the limited exemptions allowed by the ban.
Of course, there’s no telling what Nutter’s likely to do once he lands in Room 215 come January, plus an impending state ban that’s being bandied about even as we speak would likely supersede Philadelphia’s rules. Hurry — this may be your last chance to publicly pursue this disgusting habit. — Victor Fiorillo
