Northbrook (IL) Votes Unanimously for Clean Indoor Air Northbrook (Illinois) is the latest community in Illinois to go smokefree. The Village Board voted unanimously Tuesday night for an ordinance that clears the air in almost all workplaces. "It's very comprehensive," Village President Gene Marks said of the law, which will go into effect Jan. 1. "We're going to enjoy our clean air." Under the ordinance, smoking will be eliminated in all restaurants, bars and offices, as well as some outdoor locations, including school property. Buffalo Grove, Deerfield, Evanston, Highland Park, Libertyville, Lincolnshire, Skokie, Vernon Hills and Wilmette, Lake Forest, and Lindenhurst all have passed similar ordinances. "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

Bible belt and tobacco country. Fall is the time to fire (as in the barns) dark burly tobacco. EVERYONE smokes spits or chews (or so it seems). I won't smoke...but I must admit, I LOOOVE the smell of tobacco being smoked in the barns!

Here in Santa Cruz, California, you can't smoke at beaches, resturants or bars and not withing 20 feet of a bus-stop. Then again, almost no people smokes here, at least not cigarettes :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/22/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 233 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,505 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1048.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 27 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 35 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22

No smoking in bars restraurants even outdoor sittings of restraunts, no indoor smoking in any public building, and no smoking in open air malls On Maui. Thinking of banning smoking at the beach. Citizens can complain and you can get a ticket by mail if you toss a lit butt out your car window. I hope the do ban beach smoking. The turtles eat the fiberglass cig butts sometimes and get very sick. Even when I smoked on the beach I never used the beach as my ashtray took my butts home. Laters.
