Impact of a Smoking Ban on Restaurant and Bar Revenues --- El Paso, Texas, 2002
Smoke-free indoor air ordinances protect employees and customers from secondhand smoke exposure, which is associated with increased risks for heart disease and lung cancer in adults and respiratory disease in children ( 1,2 ). As of January 2004, five states (California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, and New York) and 72 municipalities in the United States had passed laws that prohibit smoking in almost all workplaces, restaurants, and bars ( 3 ). On January 2, 2002, El Paso, Texas (2000 population: 563,662), implemented an ordinance banning smoking in all public places and workplaces, including restaurants and bars. The El Paso smoking ban is the strongest smoke-free indoor air ordinance in Texas and includes stipulations for enforcement of the ban by firefighting and law enforcement agencies, with fines of up to $500 for ordinance violations ( 4 ). To assess whether the El Paso smoking ban affected restaurant and bar revenues, the Texas Department of Health (TDH) and CDC analyzed sal ... [Read More]

Indoor Air Quality in Hospitality Venues Before and After Implementation of a Clean Indoor Air Law --- Western New York, 2003
The average PM 2.5 concentration was substantially lower after the law went into effect in every venue where smoking or indirect SHS exposure had been observed at baseline, with a grand mean reduction in PM 2.5 concentration of 84% (324 µ g/m 3 to 25 µ g/m 3 ; p<0.001) ( Table ). When stratified by the type of venue sampled, the average PM 2.5 concentration decreased 90% (412 µ g/m 3 to 27 µ g/m 3 ; p<0.001) in the 14 bars and restaurants in which smoking was occurring at baseline (including bar/restaurant J, which was the only venue where smoking was observed during the post-law sampling). The restaurant portions of the two bar/restaurants that allowed smoking in the bar section but not in the restaurant section experienced an average 58% decrease in PM 2.5 concentrations (156 µ g/m 3 to 31 µ g/m 3 ; p<0.001) after the law was implemented, even though they had only indirect SHS exposure at baseline. In the four other large recreation ... [Read More]
FRB: Beige Book - New York
Most retailers indicate steady wages, though one large chain reports that it is going to "bite the bullet and raise pay scales" this year, largely in response to rising turnover. Retailers indicate that prices of most goods are flat to somewhat lower; although ticket prices for apparel are lower than a year ago, some contacts note less aggressive markdowns than last year, thanks to strong demand at clearance sales. While prices of most goods and services remain stable, there are scattered reports of increases in restaurant and movie prices this winter in and around New York City. ... [Read More]
State Smoking Restrictions for Private-Sector Worksites, Restaurants, and Bars --- United States, 1998 and 2004
In 1998, two states (Utah and Vermont) banned smoking in restaurants. During 1999--2004, six additional states (Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, and New York) did so. In 1998, one state (California) required that restaurants restrict smoking to separately ventilated employee break rooms. In 2004, one additional state (Connecticut) had enacted a smoking restriction of this type. In 1998, 27 states required or allowed designated smoking areas in restaurants; in 2004, 22 states had smoking restrictions of this type in place, with two states moving from no restrictions into this category and seven states moving from this category into one of the more restrictive categories. In 1998, 21 states had no smoking restrictions for restaurants. In 2004, this number had decreased to 19 states. ... [Read More]

Castle Clinton National Monument (National Park Service)
More than a dozen forts were built to defend New York Harbor at the time of the War of 1812. The Southwest Battery was constructed on the rocks off the tip of Manhattan Island between 1808 and 1811. Although fully armed, the fort never had occasion to fire upon an enemy. In 1817, the fort was renamed Castle Clinton in honor of DeWitt Clinton, Mayor and later Governor of New York. The army vacated the fort in 1821 and the structure was deeded to New York City in 1823. In the summer of 1824, a new restaurant and entertainment center opened at the site, then called Castle Garden. A roof was added in the 1840s and Castle Garden served as an opera house and theater until 1854. The "Swedish Nightengale" Jenny Lind made her American debut here in 1850. ... [Read More]
