The San Francisco smoking ban. San Francisco, 1998.
California banned smoking in bars and restaurants on January 1, 1998. I was working in a restaurant at the time. Management still let the regulars smoke after closing until things cooled down.
Twenty-eight years later, Supervisor Myrna Melgar introduced a bill to extend the ban to open-air patios and parklets at bars. Health advocates say it will protect workers and patrons from secondhand smoke.
Bar owners at places like O'Reilly's Pub, Zeitgeist, and El Rio say it will hurt their business. The question being raised is why cigarettes on a patio are the priority when fentanyl overdoses in the city topped 700 last year and open drug use is still a common sight around downtown.
Cannabis retailers are exempt from the bill.
