Smoking in Restaurants and Law Enforcement

In talking with a local law enforcement officer about what restaurant and bar owners will do about anyone who continues to smoke in their establishment, he said that barkeepers and restaurant managers may call for the police if they cannot get smokers to quit. Deputies and police officers if called to the establishment, could cite the person for trespassing if they don't get the message about smoking.

Hopefully, this will not be how we use our police officers. But with every good intentioned law, there is an unintentional consequence.
