Posh Beverly Hills is poised to outlaw the sale of all tobacco products - except at cigar lounges where the rich and famous can keep puffing away.
File: Beverly Hills already has strict rules that outlaw smoking on sidewalks or in multi-unit housing.LOS ANGELES - Posh Beverly Hills is poised to outlaw the sale of all tobacco products - except at cigar lounges where the rich and famous like Arnold Schwarzenegger are assured they can keep puffing away.
However, three cigar lounges whose customers include celebrities and local elites would be exempt from the ban. Rigoberto Fernandez, owner of the Buena Vista Cigar Club, wrote that a radical ban would be devastating for his family and drive him out of business. Even the chairman of cardiac surgery at the University of California, Los Angeles has chimed in, saying he visits the Grand Havana Room several times a week to kick back and have a cigar.
