Cigar-loving Arnie plans a 'smoking plaza' at state capitol

Arnold Schwarzenegger, California's cigar-smoking governor, is to tear a roof off the state capitol so that smokers can enjoy their vice inside the legislature.

The Austrian-born actor, elected governor last November, is facing protests for deciding to turn a courtyard in the building into a "smoking plaza". It will include a drinking area. Part of the roof will be removed to get round a California law banning smoking in offices, bars and restaurants.

What a great story!
Not only does this make me happy because I'm a smoker and I'm sick and tired of us being barred from every public place for indulging (politely!) in a legal habit but this is just one of many things Ah-nold's doing out there on the Left Coast that's driving those Libs crazy!
