I don't think we have a ban in Boise (yet), but since I smoke on the porch I had to go with option #3.

Had to go with option 3. I am either in the garage, back porch or driving down the road.

I don't know either, but I know me and Eshaw love smoking out the tinderbox at the mall and seeing people get upset about it. 
No ban in a town of 1400, but a nearby town that had cigar bars has a very strict one in place. You can't even light up in a tobacco shop or a bar. It's amusing because keno profits have dropped significantly and now they're concerned about funding their various programs. They asked for it though.

here all restaurants are smoke free. I guess it's funny because this is a little farm town with a college in it and the smoking ban is probably the only area where the town is progessive

Leave it to Connecticut, we have a STATEWIDE ban on smoking in restaurants, bars and all public buildings. The public building one went into effect sometime in the mid to late 1990's and the bar/restaurant ban was a two step deal, October of 2003 for the restaurants and April of 2004 for bars. People canstill smoke in private clubs like Elks, KofC, etc., however some local clubs have decided to implement a ban on their own. For instance, the American Legion still allows it but the Franco-American Club does not.
When they were "crafting" this legislation, they talked about leaving it up to the individual towns but supposedly the bars and restaurants wanted all or nothing because they figured if one town instituted a local ban and another did not, it would adversly affect the establishments in towns with the ban.
We can still smoke in cigar shops and at the Indian Casinos but the casinos are starting to ban smoking in certain bars/restaurants within the casino.
I voted "yes" (ecause of the statewide ban) even though I smoke at home or in the car.

Wow Bill, that's really unbelievable. The harsh city wide ban in Lincoln would be repealed by a bill in our legislature that would force a statewide standard, as opposed to a thousand little ones locally. Now I'm all for local control and that kind of thing, but I'm for this bill since it would kill this very restrictive bill in favor of one that would allow for say-smoking in a tobacco shop and cigar bar. Hopefully this bill will pass and the Lincoln health-fascists will be dealt a seatback in their plans for global domination.

I know I'll get chewed for this but, I can understand the no smoking in family restaurants. I've never smoked in a family restaurant, and I don't like people smoking around me while I'm eating. I've smoked in a bar, but I would imagine that would be different. CC's just got it rough! If I couldn't smoke in a bar, I wouldn't go... well I would, but still!

Before the smoking ban, restaurants had to have "smoking" and "non-smoking" sections. That law had been in place for quite some time and it worked fine.
What's actually worse is when you're in a restaurant and some old woman sits at the table next to you when she douched herself with "old lady perfume" :0
Talk about disgusting :angry2: That's far worse than someone sitting at a table next to me smoking...........

I answered no, but it's really both. Yes - the military has a ban on smoking in any public location except designated smoking areas. This includes sidewalks, parking lots, etc but you will rarely be called on it. However, I have noticed that more people will call someone out for smoking a stogie than cigarettes. (I once had Marine MPs tell me I couldn't smoke, in my car, in a vacant parkinglot because it wasn't e designated smoking area......)
The reason I answered no is that Japan has no such ban, anywhere. Since I live in Japan and it is much larger than the bases it contains I anwered no to the poll. I can wander around an entire shopping complex with a 'gar and nobody cares (for the most part). The Asians are smoking fiends.

Well so far I am loving ILLINOIS Laws.
I have found so many places that allow cigar smoking. I even went to a restaurant (STEAK PLACE) That insisted its patrons smoke cigars!
And they have the best steaks in chicago also.. so that also helps!
