Failure to comply with Department of Health and Social Services orders carries fines ranging from $100 to $1,000.

Boy, don’t THEY look good with all that power, eh?

"You're asking us to basically enforce your laws," he told a panel of public health officials Wednesday.

With an IRON FIST!

Some business owners have speculated that bars and restaurants might convert to private clubs to get around the smoking ban.

A representative of Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children read a letter from chief executive officer Thomas Ferry, asking state officials to consider waivers for separate, enclosed facilities set aside strictly for smoking, such as the "smoking hut," on the hospital campus.

Now, now! Can't play favorites, can they?!

It also exempts private social functions to which the public is not invited and when seating arrangements are under the control of the sponsor of the function, not the owner or operator of the facility.

Why can't the Casinos and Bars and Restaurants "be under the control" of their owner?  Double standard, maybe?

The Casinos, Bars and Restaurants are not permitted to close to the general public for private functions.

I can not rent out my favorite bar or restaurant for a private party if I only want invited guests. But I can rent the ballroom at a hotel or the local Moose Lodge or Fire Hall. Thats part of the reason that holiday party bookings are already falling off in restaurants this year and we're still 2 months away before it takes effect.
