Answer 1

At least it's not like you're the only bar facing the ban. The bars in LA that have seemed to be smoker friendly are the ones that don't just make you stand in front of the bar and smoke then stomp them out with your foot, but have a smoker's area with benches, ashtrays, maybe a heater if it's cold or if you have TVs with sporting events, have one facing out the window, so the person smoking outside still feels like he/she's part of the bar.
