The smokers who once enjoyed their habit inside now enjoy their habit outside. For bars and offices that share streets with private homes, the result has been an increase in loiterers, noise and trash. Walk along Fort Avenue in my neighborhood or on dozens of city streets on a weekend morning and you'll see the remnants of the previous night of revelry: small piles of discarded cigarette butts outside the shuttered doors of pubs and empty beer bottles on rowhouse steps. At night, people are stacked outside the bars, Smoking under signs warning against loitering within 50 feet of the liquor establishment. . . . The same thing happened outside the hospital that happened outside the bars. Only this time, it was secretaries, medical assistants, janitors and, yes, even the doctors and nurses, turning University Parkway near Guilford Avenue into their personal Smoking lounge. . . . Police can arrest people for loitering, but the offense is rarely if ever pursued by prosecutors. Even outside bars, the fact that the loiterers are also patrons makes the law difficult to enforce. Same thing could be said about University Parkway. ...

Wichita's imperfect anti-Smoking ordinance kicks in Thursday, three days after Derby's comprehensive ban and a month after Maize's. Though Wichita's rule doesn't go far enough -- businesses can allow Smoking if they prohibit patrons younger than 18 or build separate Smoking rooms -- all of a sudden, smoke-free Indoor dining will be the rule in much more of the county. That's a refreshing, healthy change for the better. ...

As Hurricane Ike blew through Texas, a different kind of storm was brewing inside an old Wal-Mart hastily converted into a shelter for evacuees. The building, vacant for two years, quickly became a cauldron of tension, with 1,600 people crammed into a structure with a leaky roof, few Indoor bathrooms and almost no privacy. Fights soon broke out, and one ended after police allegedly used pepper spray on dozens of evacuees and a Taser on a 15-year-old boy. Accounts of what happened in the Wal-Mart, drawn from interviews and public records obtained by The Associated Press, raise questions about the soundness of the state's evacuation plan. Days before Ike hit the Gulf Coast on Sept. 13, more than 3,000 Beaumont residents were taken by bus to Tyler even though the city had told the state it could accommodate only about half that number. The result was a chaotic experience that many won't soon forget. "I thought, 'Oh Lord, just get us out of here,'" said Verlinda Antoine, 52. "The conditions were too bad for anyone, and they treated us like they didn't want us there. It was a nightmare." Many claimed that the building was unsanitary and that fear of crime and violence was constant. When a fight between two women in a Smoking area attracted numerous onlookers on the second night, police swarmed. Four people, including two juveniles, were arrested on charges that included disorderly conduct and interfering with a police officer. "People ...
