BOULDER
We've learned (May 2000) that Boulder, Colorado also has a strict law,
requiring eating and drinking establishments to have a separately
ventilated section for smokers. This has resulted in a city where there
are almost no places to smoke indoors legally (and fines that discourage
the typical "up-yours" attitude of scoff-law smokers). So, from here on in,
instead of listing individual restaurants, we happily refer you to the
Boulder Yellow Pages :)
Thanks to John Baker of KGNU-FM for bringing us up to date!
