Would that include a non-profit child care service for your own children? A sneaky way to keep any parent from smoking inside.

What troubles me is why did they specifically exempt private residences. Was that even an option?[/quote]
In some states (MN included) your private residence is included in the ban if you are self-employed and have 1 or more employees or if you use any part of your home as a meeting place for clients. So if you have a home office in the basement and every few days a client stops in your entire house is included in the ban as a "workplace."
You are also prohibited from smoking in your home if you run a child care service in your home, even "after hours."

I don't know for sure but I think there are legal definitions of home "child care services" that would apply. I know they have specific criteria for licensing and all of that which would determine whether you were running a "child care service" or not.
