SMOKING AREA

As public opinion builds and laws become more restrictive, smokers must find new places to light up. At Chinois on Main restaurant in Santa Monica, a woman moves to the sidewalk. At a construction site in the Mid-Wilshire area of Los Angeles, workers head for the roof. And an office worker finds an outdoor alcove at downtown L.A.’s California Plaza.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION

Rain pools in the Lennox Boulevard underpass in Inglewood, and West Covina Police Assn. members become a human stream while picketing during contract negotiations.
