Michael Jordan Enjoys Cigar but doesn't Pay Fine

Recently Michael Jordan was an honorary assistant for the U.S. at the Presidents Cup golf tournament. During a practice round at Harding Park, despite a San Francisco ban on smoking on golf courses, he dared to light up and smoke a cigar.

Photos of Jordan were published in newspapers last Tuesday. The PGA Tour was asked to remind Jordan that what he was doing was against the law and that he was not permitted to smoke even as an assistant at the Presidents Cup.

Phil Ginsburg, Recreation and Park General Manager said, "It was sort of a gentle nudge reminding them that smoking is illegal and that we would appreciate their support."

When it comes to the $100 fine for this illegal act, the information is not clear and Dennis Herrera, spokesman for City Atty says he is still not sure of how that is going to play out, and at this point no one has had the guts to ask him for it. But if laws like this are really going to go into effect, then Michael Jordan could be the poster boy for it.
