<p>Facing the <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/clubhouse?… color="#225fb2">Angels</font></a>, Jim Leyland will turn toward the angel on his shoulder Saturday.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/clubhouse?… color="#225fb2">Tigers</font></a>' manager, a devout cigarette aficionado, will take on the specter of Michigan's public smoking ban for the first time when Detroit hosts Los Angeles at Comerica Park in a 1 p.m. ET game.<br />
<br />
The law took effect at 6 a.m. ET and applies to nearly all public workplaces in the state.</p>
<p>&quot;I'm a law-abiding citizen, so it's just the way it is,&quot; Leyland said Friday, according to The Grand Rapids Press. &quot;We're not supposed to smoke here, and I won't do it. I'll try to find someplace outside somewhere, I guess, but I think you're not supposed to smoke at all in the park.&quot;</p>
<p>Camacho Cigar Bar inside the stadium's Tiger Club will be among cigar bars and tobacco specialty shops that are exempt.</p>
<p>But Leyland, who also smokes cigars, said he won't have a problem fighting that urge.</p>
<p>&quot;It's hard to go down there in the sixth inning,&quot; he said, according to the Grand Rapids newspaper.</p>
