Gotcha.                                                                 

 We are in the last stages of a complete ban on 
smoking in some          malls in North York. 
Smoking is not permitted in any of 
the              shopping areas nor the food 
court. For some strange reason it _is        
permitted in restaurants that are a few metres 
away from the food        court! I've contacted 
the authorities to understand the 
logic            behind this. Their reply: As 
long as the restaurant has a                
washroom and walls it's OK. Makes perfect sense 
don't you think?
