Has anyone out there been affected by a local or state smoking ban? NY, DC, and FL have well known anti-smoking laws, but what about the rest of the country? An anti-smoking ordinance just passed here and will go into effect in 30 days. The ban will apply to all restaurants, clubs, coffee houses, etc. The only exceptions to the ban are Tobacco retailers and bars that have "incidental" food service. Many of the businesses that are cigar friendly have vowed not to enforce the ordinance, but I don't think they will get away with it for long.
