It sure does.  And I also think the law is a bad one.  I won't
bore everyone with my reasoning.  I do have to say that my opinion
may be jaded as I happen to be a smoker, but I think it would
be the same even if I didn't smoke.

I live in California too, so of course I would enjoy a reason
to go to a state that has not outlawed smoking in bars/restaurants,
but... I since matz doesn't like smoke very much, I'd also vote
for California as well -- see, smokers are thoughtful people too! :-)
