    A group of us teenagers would go to a local diner similar to a Waffle House and sit, drink endless coffee, and smoke. We were there at least one night each week.

    We made sure to be there when the ban finally went into place in my state. At midnight exactly, one of the waitresses came over, said put them all out. We did and she left with the ashtray.

    I never went back.

      When I smoked, I used to have a collection of ash trays from restaurants, and even a metal one with a tree for holding the cigarettes that came from a hospital. When I found out TN didn’t allow smoking in restaurants I started asking all the restaurants I went to if they had any left and if I could have them
