My 2cents!
Been like that in CA for a while now --- and you know what the next move was? To start banning it OUTDOORS too. First beaches and parks, then sidewalks in many towns --- and now the push is to eliminate the OUTDOOR smoking areas at restaurants, where they exiled smokers in the first place.

If they think they can ban it completely - then they should go for it.
But that's not what they do - they just keep legislating incrementally, trying to ban it little by little while *claiming* they're trying to be fair to everyone.

They want to ban smoking. But they don't have the balls to say it (or to give up the tax revenue).

(I have no axe to grind here, I've quit and don't care about smoking areas anymore. What I *do* care about is hypocrisy.)
