I think the ban here is state-wide. Some cities in my state have banned smoking for quite a few years now (a decade maybe?). Yeah, just googled - looks like the ban went state-wide effective almost a year ago.
Billb - are you a smoker? (not trying to be offensive, just curious)
I'm very sensitive to cigarette smoke but I have friends that are smokers. Most of them have no problem with the ban on smoking in public places. Some were actually happy for it since even THEY hated being surrounded by cigarette smoke in restaurants.
If people want to kill themselves with their bad habits, I'm not one to judge. I only get pissed when I can't escape their bad habits (ie, smoke in public buildings, drunk drivers on the road I'm traveling on, etc).
