Too, cannot a restaurant initiate and maintain its own outdoor smoking policy? It seems to me that if a restaurant provided nonsmoking outdoor areas its business would increase as word got around.

My mistake. I didn't post that because I thought it was a good idea; I posted it because I'm sick to death of more and more laws that take all the responsibility and choices away from people, restaurants, etc...
Just my 2 cents
