Actually not far from where I live in Seattle is a hookah bar, which is a "private club" where you can smoke flavored tobacco in a hookah pipe.

All you have to do is pay $5 for a "membership". This is of course "OK", but a private club that "allowed" cigars and cigarettes is NOT OK.

Anyone care to take a guess as to why there's a double standard?

Oh, yes, the hookah lounges did manage to get an exemption, though I’m sure a lot of anti-smoking Nazis are unhappy about it. I probably have been by the place you are talking about.
It didnt work out so well in Everett. The one hookah lounge downtown was driven out of business by the Snohomish co. Health dept. They also used an excuse that the church sharing the building complained about the smell. But there’s so dang much vacant commercial real estate available in downtown Everett, it seems the church could find another place. One look at downtown Everett and you know that it’s wrong for the government to take aim at legal businesses.

The most annoying smoking-in-King Co.-parks ads featured this little girl named Mia. I don’t know what the status of this is now, but Mia is not one of the people I miss since moving to Everett.
