smoking in public?? do you live in a state where it is illegal to smoke in certain places? ex: NY, i understand you can't smoke in public places...period (right???) they just passed a law here starting tomorrow that smoking in food establishments is no longer allowed. i don't smoke...never have...so to me, this is GREAT news!!! I am so excited about it!! just wondering what other states have similar laws?? |
Yes, we have places like that. I don't smoke, never have and never will. The smell just makes me sick. I think it's a great law!!! Nothing is more gross than people blowing smoke your way and forcing you to breathe it in. Yucky! I simply just ask others not to smoke around us. We don't allow it in our home, cars, etc. Glad to hear the law is getting passed near you! :) |
I think here in Texas it is an individual city thing. In College Station there is a law that you can't smoke in restaurants or public places. I think it is GREAT GREAT GREAT too!! It's one thing for a person to smoke in private, but when they are smoking in public they are putting others that don't smoke at risk. |
In Philadelphia it isn't allowed in any restaurants, including bars. It also isn't allowed within 20 feet of public entrances but people still do it anyway. :rolleyes: I wish it would be illegal in the entire city. I hate having to walk behind someone who is just puffing away and blowing it in my face. I also hate when someone who is smoking walks past my apartment and the smoke eventually drifts into my second story windows. Luckily this only happens the few times that it is nice enough to have the windows up (like tonight). |
In Australia, we've recently had a law issued that forbids people from smoking in pubs and clubs. As a smoker, I hate this law. Who goes to those establishments for their health? I can understand why people hate other people smoking around them but in pubs and clubs I think it's ridiculous. |
We have it here in Ohio, it was passed last year. I like having it, I have asthma and smoke has triggered attacks so I just do not like being around it. |
I'm not sure about the entire state of Louisiana but here in central Louisiana, we passed the same law in early 2007, no eating establishments, no city/state facilities, hospitals, even the malls, of course this doesn't apply to the bars or casino's. I used to smoke years ago but even then I didn't like going places that weren't smoke free. |

I went to a mall in Mexico where smoking was allowed and I thought it was really bizarre. |
We can't wait until the law goes into effect in Illinois. I'm sick of the smokers whining and the restaurants claiming they will lose business. They are losing plenty of business NOW because people like me can't go out to eat. We cook or get carry out or go to the VERY few places that ban it. I can't wait until I can eat a real steak at a real restaurant and be able to breathe. |
Minneapolis has that law, and Des Moines has passed that in many locations, and is working on passing it city wide. |

Yep, here too. Well, not in Texas in general...but in the town I live in there is absolutely NO smoking allowed anywhere INSIDE public places - not even in the bars! And if you are outside smoking in public, you have to be 15 feet away from the door of where ever you are. |
The law came into affect in England a couple of months back and now people can't smoke in any public areas like bars, restuarants, places of work, etc. There is now also an on the spot fine for people that drop ciggarette ends on the floor outside instead of putting them out properly and putting them in a bin. You can pretty much only smoke in your own home, property and outside... it was even on the news the other day that they were thinking about making it illegal to smoke in your car! |
