Bwog was at a loss; it’s a lot harder to shake “Bweckfast with Bwog” out of your head than you’d think. But, as we verged on a nervous bweakdown, the hot dog machine in Lerner suddenly burst into life, and written in the ketchup of the miracle was our answer! And so for the first time, we give you the morning BwogLines.

@anon Should it be BwogWines?
@Name Thinking about it, enforcement wouldn’t be a problem if there are significant fines attached to it. Have the guard walk out of butler once in a while and start ticketing.
Though it’ll probably result in smoking right on Broadway.
@Ex-smoker As an ex-smoker, walking past Butler makes me crave the ciggos like a fiend. Which for all practical purposes isn’t a good reason to support a ban, but for me it’s a fair enough justification.
How do so many people here afford to smoke? $10.00 for a pack? In ATL (where I’m from) you can still get two-pack specials for $6.00-$7.00… which was enough to bankrupt my chain-smoking high school self. Lord knows how broke I’d be if I kept it up here.
@I heart carcinogen All the arguments used against a complete smoking ban can be negated by putting a ban on smoking near buildings, IMO. Putting a 20 foot buffer zone outside of Butler, etc…is totally enforceable, and gives those wanting to avoid secondhand smoke an escape passage. Smokers still get their habit, they just have to move their asses 20 more feet to a less confined area.
