New smoking law may shock many businesses and travelers

Sunday, October 29th, 2006

By Mary Vorsino
Advertiser Staff Writer

The law, designed to protect more people from secondhand smoke, is one of the toughest in the nation and carries fines for business owners or individuals who violate the rules.
Some businesses gearing up for the changes are now instituting portions of the law to prepare employees and customers, who will no longer be able to smoke in semi-enclosed areas or at any venue where food or drinks are served.

LAST SUNDAY’S EARTHQUAKE in Hawaii did little damage to hotels. The only reported room damage was on the island of Hawaii, ashore of the epicenter of the quake off the South Kohala coast. The nearest hotel to the epicenter, the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, suffered some damage. A small portion of its rooms have been removed from inventory pending safety assessments.

All activities are ready to welcome visitors, who will see little, if any, evidence of the earthquake’s passing. The heaviest damage was to several historic buildings and sites in the Kona and Kohala districts, including Hulihee Palace in Kailua, which remains closed.
