Los Angeles, California (I-Newswire) March 4, 2011 - More smoking bans and more smoking fines. Now smokers getting a heft fine of $500 for smoking 10 feet away from restaurants. Mayor Bloomberg has put together a policy to fine smokers now if any non-smoker smells the cigarette.

CEO of Solar Cigarette has stepped in to help smokers in California to request a meeting with the Mayor. The CEO offered a new smokeless cigarette which will have smokers avoid the $500 fines and also give smokers a healthier alternative.

Not only does the Solar Cigarette, help smokers kick the habit and smoke in a healthier way. But the 2nd generation smokeless cigarette helps smokers lose weight. The device has been seen in celebrities hands and is an alternative to still smoking, but in a healthier way without worrying about the fines.

Read the story on the $500 fines smokers may face: ======

"Smokers of the regular cigarettes may be fined $500 if they are caught smoking not only in the restaurant, but also 10 feet from the restaurant. This is a new policy in which Los Angeles smokers will see happen the next time they go out and get a smoke."

"The CEO of Solar Cigarette is offering a smokeless cigarette to help smokers cope with this issue, but also has been trying to communicate with the LA mayor to assure smokeless cigarette users will not be fined."

"Since the Solar Cigarette has been used as a smokeless cigarette and does not create any harmful smell or smoke, except water vapor. Solar Cigarette smokers will be happy to know that smoking the Solar Cigarette will help them avoid the $500 tax. This is also the same for any state. The smokeless cigarette will help smokers avoid these cigarette fines."

"Read the Story:"

"The battle rages on between smoking and public wellness organizations in the United States, and particularly in Los Angeles, the home of sun, diet and exercise. Next week, smoking within 10 feet of outdoor dining areas, including food courts, as well as within 40 feet of food kiosks, food carts, and mobile food trucks in the City of Los Angeles will be frowned upon. The city will ask businesses to ask folks not to smoke and post obvious “no smoking” signage."

"Dr. Jonathan E. Fielding, MD, MPH, director and health officer of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health comments:"

“The vast majority of L.A. County residents are non-smokers, 85.7 percent, and data has shown that even many smokers prefer to dine in smoke-free settings. This ordinance continues Los Angeles’ commitment to protecting the health of our residents and reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer, emphysema and the many other diseases associated with tobacco smoke. This is great news for the City of L.A. Nothing goes better with good food than a side of fresh air.”

"Violators, patrons and business owners alike, face fines of up to $500. Bars, 18 and older nightclubs and buildings hosting private events that are completely closed to the public are exempt from this policy."

"With this policy, Los Angeles joins a number of cities in L.A. County that have already implemented smoke-free outdoor dining policies, including Beverly Hills, Calabasas, Glendale, Pasadena and Santa Monica."

"LA Mayor Villaraigosa adds:"

“The City of Los Angeles continues to set the pace for healthy living. Angelenos already enjoy smoke-free parks, beaches and farmers’ markets and now they will be able to enjoy all the wonderful outdoor dining that L.A. has to offer without exposure to toxic secondhand smoke.”Last month the popular Mayor Michael Bloomberg achieved another success with the 36-12 New York City Council vote to now ban smoking in 1,700 parks and 14 miles of public beaches plus boardwalks, marinas and pedestrian plazas like the one in the heart of Times Square. This is a passing that keeps in line with the 2003 ban of smoking in NYC bars and restaurants."

"Mayor Michael Bloomberg said:"

“This summer, New Yorkers who go to our parks and beaches for some fresh air and fun will be able to breathe even cleaner air and sit on a beach not littered with cigarette butts.”The expanded smoking ban will give the city’s Parks Department the power to slap violators with quality-of-life summonses, which are tickets for minor offenses like panhandling or public urination that typically carry fines of under $100."
