Add supermarkets to the CA law. If someone was smoking in a supermarket I was in after I had quit, I could smell it 3 or 4 aisles away and immediately became an anti-smoking vigilante searching out perps wherever they hid. I must have done a really good job because it's been over 20 yrs since anyone has dared light up in my presence in a supermarket. heh heh heh. Same for movie theaters. I can remember the first Cheech & Chong movie I attended after moving to CA (70's). Couldn't see the screen for all the smoke and didn't much care because one couldn't avoid getting high from the Mary Jane fog inside the theater.

It's not the state law here, but most businesses are non smoking now. I don't know if they saw it through, but Lowe's planned on adopting a policy where their employees were not allowed to smoke anywhere on Lowe's property even in their own car in the parking lot on the way to work. I wish the US would just go ahead and outlaw cigarettes completely.I would make a FORTUNE selling bootleg cigatettes and wouldn't have to pay a penny worth of taxes, unlike the do-gooders who's taxes would get raised up to California levels. BTW, gas here is @ $2.05 a gallon - what's it like in Ca?
