Sorry to followup like two weeks later, but...

You must live in Heaven, Jack. Here in Michigan we've got a powerful
tourism lobby that keeps buying off the legislature every time anybody
talks about forbidding smoking in restaurants. They've even got a
state law that says local jurisdictions can't forbid smoking in
restaurants.

On the plus side, several Ann Arbor restaurateurs and bar owners
have voluntarily made their establishments non-smoking. I
preferentially give them my business.
