TANOUE "SMOKE-FREE" FOR 3: Photographer Russell Tanoue commemorated three years of being "smoke-free" Saturday at Pearl Ultra Lounge. Tanoue said quitting cigarettes was "the hardest thing I ever did," but he did it because his "Project Shine" program sometimes works with cancer survivors and he thought he should set a better example. Single-monikered entertainer Sunway and Pearl owner Beau Mohr were among the first to welcome him when he arrived.
