Wow good going, Phil! I didn't understand much of your letter LOL, but grats on getting your feelings out there and giving people so much to think about.
We just implemented a smoking ban here in Arizona. You can't smoke inside anywhere, or within 20 feet of the entrance of any business. The 20 feet thing is the real life-saver. You know, all smokers are just a toking away on their way into the store, because they know they will start withdrawls before they're done shopping. Then they light up on the way out the door. I used to just really feel asaulted with smoke everytime I went in anywhere, just with breathing around the doorway. You know? So, i'm glad they did the 20 feet part.
I was in utah a few months back and they had the no smoking within 20 feet law and that was such a breaht of fresh air - pun intended.
