For those of you who have ever smoked, did you ever have a friend quit smoking and you thought, "oh no there goes another one"?* I have those thoughts when someone I know quits caffeine. (You know who you are.... BUB....)
Despite living in Seattle, I seem to have a disproportionate number of friends who don't drink coffee. Sometimes I fear that coffee will go the same direction as cigarettes, and I'll be relegated to the "coffee drinking area", outside in the cold dark wind, huddling in my parka and nursing my coffee, either alone, or with the few other holdouts. We sit and reminisce about the good old days when men, women, and heck sometimes even children drank coffee, and no one thought anything of it! No one ever gave you a dirty look when you ordered a double tall latte. No one questioned your moral fortitude, etc. Sigh..... where are all my coffee drinking friends?
*PS I'm not advocating smoking I was just making an analogy!!

Who gives up drinking coffee?!?! Why the H*** would you do that? What is wrong with coffee? Last I saw, it was legal. And delicious. And there are even studies that suggest it's good for you (though perhaps not in the quantity that I drink it.)
And for the record: smoking is totally under-rated. It's a shame we have to live in such freakishly-health-conscious society where children are kept inside and wear helmets at the dinner table. Here's to breaking all the rules! Cheers.
I love coffee but lately the coffee tastes so blah.
It has no flavour in the beans.
Covering it up in lattes some how doesn't make it something called coffee lol
I am glad for the no smoking rules because the cigarettes are not pure tobacco. and even so.Now people don't smoke and everything smells so much better.
I get the "no smoking" rules. I really do. I laugh anytime I watch and old movie and watch people lighting up in hospitals or planes, etc....I just think it's a shame that (1) businesses can't decide for themselves if they want a healthy-everything-goodie-two-shoes-and-pure establishment or a booze-pounding, smoke-filled cancer-causing bar; and (2) that smokers can't even smoke in their own homes anymore without being ostracized.
