Sure, bars just haven’t been the same since the smoking ban has forced the masses out and onto the streets, but what really brought the buzzkill was the dwindling number of cigarette reps peddling free Philly Flavor Country to social smokers everywhere. But chum up Camel kids, because it looks like those cancer merchants are back in town with count ‘em, two Philebrity sightings this weekend at area bars. Included on the streetsheet? We ran into two dangerously cute and unequivocally outgoing RJ Reynolds reps, one enjoying a tall lager at Oscar’s and the other fancydancing with the hipster elite at the Khyber. According to one of the reps, there’s been a lull in business but things should be back on track this summer. Note, however, that our optimism might be a direct result of being handed two packs of free smokes moments earlier. Do yourself a favor and take up the offer, if not for your own pocket, than for that friend that you’re going to bum from after your second Tom Collins, anyway.
