A few members of the Blender crew were out at the Summit Stage and Saloon last night to catch Tweak Bird and Kandi Coated.

Smoked Out: A look at the first month of a smoke-free Oregon

On the last Friday afternoon of January - which happens to be an unusually warm one - about a dozen folks are lined up at the bar and scattered around the tables of the M&J Tavern on Greenwood. The scene probably would have been the same a year ago. Sports highlights flash across the flat-screen television mounted above the bar as peanuts are consumed steadily and the shells tossed freely to the concrete floor. But what's absent is the smoky haze that once hung around the ceiling of the Greenwood Avenue tavern.

It's been a month since Oregon, like more than 20 states before it,
extended a ban on workplace smoking to include previously exempt
establishments like bars and bowling alleys. The measure, which was
passed by the Oregon Legislature more than a year and a half ago but
just took effect on January 1, is a step forward for Oregon's tobacco
control reputation, but public health and anti-tobacco organizations
say the state has a long way to go.
