Smoking and Eating On Its Way Out According to a Recent Ordinance, Mayor Gets Brief Mentions

Few issues have divided HTG Hollywood as much as the recent smoking ban in restaurants, unless the owner of the eatery buys a special one-year license from the city.

"It's just another way for the city to make money off of us" complained the operator of one establishment forced to fork out the dough for the license.

"I love it" declared a frequent patron of a popular dining spot in the city. "It sure makes eating out more enjoyable, not having to put up with the smoke. I had a slice of pizza a month ago that tasted like cigar, not pepperoni. Now I can dine in pleasure. Thanks, Mayor Fox!"

Although a recent committee to look into the legality of prohibiting smoking in restaurants has not returned with its report, city officials seem optimistic that the action they have taken is the right one.

"It's always the inconsiderate few that ruin it for the majority" stated a staff member working for Mayor Megan Fox. "Next thing we have to outlaw is MSG. Sure, it makes food taste better, but it's bad for you. Why? We don't know. But we hear it is, so that's good enough for us!"
