"Studies conducted at the University Of California, Berkeley, School Of Public Health shows that spending just two hours in a smoke filled bar is equivalent to smoking four cigarettes. Two hours in a restaurant equals one and a half. Eight hours in the work place or office that allows smoking is equivalent to six cigarettes and living with a pack-a-day smoker in the home is equal to you smoking 3 cigarettes."
Not sure if that can be proven, but I got it from this link:

8 hours in a bar, Cavie? Usually after 3 or 4 hours, I am as good as toast
(btw, in Jersey, there is a no smoking law in effect for the past couple years.... no smoking in public places such as eateries, bars, shopping malls.... they tried to lift it in the casinos but I guess it wasnt working out so hearing about a smokey bar is finally starting to sound weird to me)
My boyfriend smokes (but not in the house, his rule) and keeps going back and forth between wanting to quit and wanting to continue his habit. His dad quit smoking about 2yrs. ago after a 20-something affair with cigs, and now he dips. Blech!! He leaves little cups full of used dip around his house, in his truck, and it looks like someone defecated in them!

I stopped the beginning of August. So far so good. We have not been able to smoke in a bar for at least 5 years.
LOL "Sitting in a smoky bar" sounds so strange to me too. I'm from NY, and I think it was almost 10 years ago that NY instituted the smoking ban in public places. I am living near the VT/NH border right now, and VT has had no smoking in public places since I moved here, but NH (yes, the 'live free or die' state) only insituted the law about 2 years ago, a few months after I moved here. So when I first moved here, and went into a restaurant and was asked "Smoking or non?" my bf and I stared at each other in amazement lol. We were like, "Wow, I haven't heard that since I was a kid!" But yeah it's been over 2 years since I've seen someone smoking at a public establishment, and the thought of a "smoky bar" just seems strange to me now.
does the occasional cigar or pipe count? 
BTW, I personally don't trust anything that comes from UC Berkeley
