Ohio banned smoking in all public places last year. People still smoke, but it's less convenient. As a lifelong asthmatic, I thought it was wonderful. No more 'smoking sections' that share the same air as the rest of the establishment. I can actually walk into a bar (thunk) without having to rush back out 30 seconds later for fresh air. I can take my son to the bowling alley for his friend's birthday without having to go after the Albuterol.
What I don't understand is why cigarettes just aren't totally banned. Well, OK, I do understand- it's that nice tax revenue every state gets on them, just like the tax on booze. They'd tax Hookers extra if they could.
