Crusher,

This is the original article from July 15th. This information is now outdated and no longer accurate.

The regulations have been are continued to be revised as I stated in a previous post. The article I am quoting from comes from the October 18th Gleaner:

There seems much ado about a rather common sense measure. The parliamentary committee, which received several submissions from a range of stakeholders and interest groups, voted to allow all businesses, including hotels, the right to establish outdoor designated smoking areas for their patrons.

Even the major local cigarette manufacturer, Carreras, doesnt seem to mind the new regulations:

As for the "ganja connection" being leveled, I think the exact opposite is true. Jamaica is quickly attempting to decriminalize ganja as this article from last month states:

OK lets get this out in the open. What does this mean for visiting tourists who want to smoke ganja at their hotel ? Will hotels be cool with people smoking "outside" ? It seems to go against the grain of what the article mentions (public). A tourist's only private space while on vacation is a hotel.
