Are they going to institute fines which I certainly would refuse to pay.

The smoker isn't fined. The bar/restaurant is.

Which proves of course that it's all about money, and has nothing to do with safety of the workers....who get stuck telling recalcitrant smokers that they can't light up. At least one bouncer in NYC has already been killed trying to enforce Bloomberg's Folly.

I know the bar is fined but what if there were no ashtrays and "No Smoking" signs all over the place.How could they legally fine the owner. If they did I would certainly potch in to pay the fine.

There is an outdoor area in my city where smoking is prohibited and every night when I walk my dog in this area I sit on a bench in the smoke-free area and light up.No one has said anything yet but I'm almost hoping someone complains.I've paid high property taxes to this city for 42 years and I'd love to challenge this ridiculous law.

What the heck are they going to do to me?

I believe in Calif they are BOTH fined.

So, "Phantom Lord", was Adolph Hitler and "Joe Stalin" already taken?

What a schmuck.
