Written around the time smoking laws were changing across the land, No Smoking turned out to be popular with smokers and non-smokers alike.
This is another gem to come out of the Blues session, capturing a groove that's reminiscent of some of the work of Junior Wells and Buddy Guy. (In fact, the harmonica ending is a direct homage to Junior Wells.)
This was the second single released from this record, and people have really lit it up!
"C'mon, man, take that stuff outside!"
