If you’re wondering: an indoor smoking ban went into effect in NYC in 2003. This is 2005. Veronika’s not the type to change her behavior or follow rules and will continue on as usual for as long as she can -- depending on the bar the ban could not have really been enforced at first, but two years in she’s definitely pushing it. We’ve seen Andrew outside with a friend who's smoking (081), which is what Veronika should be doing here.

I didn't know about this song till fairly recently and it's *so good*... the version in the video is different from the album one and I've not been able to find it anywhere.
