California - The Nanny State

[cbelt3]

The smoking in public places ban in Ohio has worked quite nicely. I can actually go into a bar now without having to limp for the exits gasping for air. But I never got in the habit of going to bars.

Now that it's the first winter with the ban, smokers are starting to think harder about quitting. It's one thing to run outside for a smoke. It's another thing to put on boots, hat, gloves, coat, etc..
