many hotels and office buildings have “bodegas.” Yes, in Beverly Hills. Gas stations sell cigs, Pharmacies CVS Rite Aid etc. Make a list, apologize and i may let you come back to the thread.

You won’t be staying in Beverly Hills long if you are homeless, have a shopping cart or look disheveled. A 6’3 handsome cop with a perfect uniform will “escort” you someplace more appropriate.

The wealthy will have their tobacco products delivered.

You can buy them in Santa Monica, but you can’t smoke them on the beach, the pier, the Santa Monica Mall, withing 20’ of a door way, in a common area of an apartment building or in a park.

What kind of stupid politicians pass a Law banning a product and then allow it to be sold in hotels and cigar lounges?

And yet alcohol has been the biggest destroyer of lives and families and innocent traffic victims than tobacco will ever come close to.

I guess it just comes down to which vice they personally like: tobacco or booze........
