WeHo looking at more smoking restrictions

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. Now the /*West Hollywood City Council*/ is thinking of enacting more restrictions, on top of what is already a tough anti-smoking ordinance.

West Hollywood already prohibits smoking inside restaurants, bars and workspaces. If the City Council has its way, smoking a cigarette, even in a designated smoking patio, might soon be against the law.

There are concerns that the all-out smoking ban could have a negative impact on restaurants and hotels. Especially when it comes to international tourists who are more likely to smoke.

Some smokers said the rules are already overly restrictive.
