In certain places in Washington State, The outdoor eats are an tempting place to take a few tokes of weed as an appetizer. I smell it all the time. However such an offense in public can have the law cite you with a class 3 civil infraction. The penalty would be $50 plus court costs. Usually it requires the restaurant to call the police. If it was a place like the Red Hen, there would be no action. The restaurant staff would be getting high on their breaks and customers would be smelling it. In that liberal state, the smell of weed would be the smell of progress.
As for cigarette smoking out on the deck, I would suppose it would be permitted as long as it is done 20 feet from the nearest door. At the Red Hen, I suppose no one would notice the smell of tobacco smoke because their stoned cooks would be broiling their steaks to a crisp and the smoke would mask the scent of the tobacco. LOL!
This Lefty state is getting big money from the pot tax which is 37% on the sales price. A pack of cigarettes costs $8.00 a pack with $3.00 for taxes—37.5. A pack-a day-habit would cost you $56/week. That’s money up in smoke.

That’s confiscatory and evil.. We fought a war for a helluva lot less than that.
