The article presents information on the views of restaurateurs regarding building more space onto the restaurants. According to Cameron Palmer, owner of Cameron's Inn and Pub, Half Moon Bay, California, who added a 35-seat "smoking lounge" in the form of a British double-decker bus, plus a 36-seat barrel garden to his restaurant, when California passed its anti-smoking law, he "had to get creative really quickly." Since weather on the central California coast can be foggy and damp, his "outdoor" smoking lounge needed shelter, so he parked a 1966 English double-decker bus on the grounds, creating a smoker's haven and a more pub-like air at once for $7,000.
