Customers smoke inside a special 'smoking' gondola in front of the Milchhaeusl restaurant in Munich January 3, 2008. Owner Pitt Grunitz erected four themed Ski Gondolas for customers to smoke, listen to music, for children to listen to fairy tales and a 'cuddly' Gondola with curtains for couples. Smoking has been banned from Januray 1 in pubs and restaurants in 11 of Germany's 16 states -- exemptions given only to those with separate closed-off rooms. REUTERS/Michael Dalder (GERMANY)
