Yatzee! Phase I of the DC Smoking Ban has begun...So in January 2007 the ban will be in full swing and I won't have to worry about going to any bar in the District and having to be drenched in aweful second-hand fumes.

The provisions of the ban implemented today cover the dining areas of restaurants and most indoor workplaces. The ban provides exemptions for outdoor areas, hotel rooms, retail tobacco outlets and cigar bars. In 2007, it will expand to include bars, bar areas of restaurants and nightclubs and will provide an economic hardship waiver for businesses that demonstrate a "significant negative impact."

in California you can't smoke indoors ANYWHERE. It's pretty hardcore. And they are even working on having designated places for smoking outside.

Works for me, since I don't smoke!
