Washington started a ban in all public buildings several years ago. It is fantastic. I can now go out and not come home stinking like an ashtray. Playing pool and bowling are fun again. Going out for a beer isn't such an ordeal, and restaurants are family friendly again. I know that it sucks for smokers, but I think that business has actually picked up for most businesses as a result. (no facts for this, but it sure looks like that to my eyes.)
