Miami, nice

I have been invited to be a panellist at a seminar in Miami in December. The organisers will arrange flights and two nights' accommodation. Door-to-door it will take me approximately 20 hours to get there and back. The actual session lasts 90 minutes. Let me check my diary.

Just to stay on topic, I read recently of a couple of New Yorkers who were moving to Florida because of their relatively liberal smoking laws. Simon, can you get me an invite?

Smoking IS allowed , but not required to be permitted, in the following:

1.) Stand-alone bars that meet nine criteria, notably:

a) No more than 10-percent gross revenues are derived from food consumed on the premises

b) Not located within, and not sharing any common entryway or common indoor area with, any other enclosed workplace

2.) Retail tobacco shops

3.) Designated guest sleeping rooms in motels and hotels

4.) Outdoor patios and decks that are less than 50-percent enclosed

5.) Certain nonprofit organizations in leased spaces for non-commercial activities

6.) Smoking-cessation programs approved by the Florida Department of Health

7.) Medical or scientific research facilities

Ever thought of working for a living?

I bet you'd just hate the smoking ban to be repealed!
