Tobacco companies using aggressive marketing campaigns and addictive drugs to psychologically direct the habits and health of millions of people, not to mention affecting those of people who come into contact with second-hand smoke--ah, freedom!

Yes, state by state. My state (Maine) has many non-smoking laws in place, however if I go over the New Hampshire border (Or, last time I did, may have changed) there is still smoking in restaurants, and you can still book a "smoking" hotel room.

I think the state by state thing is a good plan. The way it is now, if someone doesn't like the ban in their state, they don't *have* to stay there.

I smoke rather a lot now because i am stressed a lot. I think genrally the ban is a good idea. I personally do not have a problem about not smoking in cafes and resturants- I chose not to anyway.
Not smoking in pubs will be something difficult to get used to. I suppose i will have to just go to pubs with gardens and wrap up warm.
If i was with someone who was bothered by smoking, i will not smoke whilst i am with them, thats just basic manners.
