Ever since May 5 Boston has been smoke free (all restaurants and bars). Today I went onto the site for Cigar Masters, one of a couple of places left in Boston where you can still smoke. They have instituted what they are calling a "lighting fee". If you bring in your own cigar instead of buying one of theirs there will be a $10.00 fee per cigar per customer. Very enterprising indeed. The justification is that to maintain their smoking status they must show the right ratio of business between tobacco products and food and liquor. Cigarettes are exempt.
