Banned in North Carolina

I enjoy the smoke free atmosphere while I'm out in public but at the same time I greatly dislike the government interference in private business.

It's banned here, and I'm from Texas.

I am in California - no smoking indoors anywhere - outdoors - alot of rules about how far away you have to be from the door. I used to smoke but quit about 12-15yrs ago and now I hate the smell - but I do not condemn smokers because it is difficult to give up.

The "nanny state" of California, or at least those who know better (read: smarter and care more) the SF Bay Area, is putting forth the possibility that one can't smoke in their apartment as there is a common ventilation system through which the smoke and smell travel.
If they do that, then they darn well better ban the cooking of horrid-smelling and nauseating foods in those same apartments! There is some really foul stuff in those pots! Smells like something someone scraped off a San Francisco sidewalk and "sauteed" in olive oil. (Apologies to the olives)
There are also those who are trying to get smoking banned in your personal car if children are in it.
Oh, and this is the same Alice in Wonderland that has legaized "medicinal" marijuana.
BTW, I'm not a smoker nor have I ever been. I'm just fed up with the "nanny state" mentality that is pervasive today.

"________ should be outlawed!" Well, there are 10 laws engraved on the Supreme Court Building in Washington, D.C. We all know how effective those laws have been. The author had the right idea, but those who read them have always wanted "qualifiers" or "exemptions".

Smoking is not allowed in TN and I'm so thankful. Now you can actually enjoy the smell and taste of your food!

Same here in KY. You have to remember though that in KY, tobacco is the main crop for MANY farmers so it is a difficult situation. I don't know what they will do. I wonder if there is some resource for the farmers to transition their farms from tobacco to another crop??

No smoking in Maine in all public buildings. It has been this way for years.

banned here in Az also
