Jim, Nope, but I spent most of my childhood and a huge chunk of my adulthood in the Los Angeles Basin, the smog capitol, I am sure, of the entire galaxy. FWIW, I could never understand the militant anti-smokers who freely choose to live in the Los Angeles/Riverside/San Bernardino regions of Southern California. Now that's REALLY sickening! In answer to your question about how the bar owners are handling the new law, yes, many are not enforcing it, simply because their chosen career is that of owning a bar, not that of being a policeman. The law is poorly written, and the onus of enforcement rests with the bar owner, NOT with any particular agency with specific police powers, and with the enforcement provisions varying from county to county throughout California. The real kicker is that if the law is broken, it is the business owner who is punished, NOT the smoker. The smoker can violate the law and skate free. I think we smokers need to get together and mark ourselves as disabled. Then we would all come under benevolent umbrella of the Americans with Disbilities Act. What ya' say? D'ya' think it'd fly? <vbg> Holly
