At first, I think this kind of moronic law will never see the light of day, but then I look at my own liberal state of Washington where Liberals passed a law banning smoking within 15 feet of any business and of course no smoking inside those buildings either. Even the patrons of Taverns have to take their smoking outside, and 15 feet away. And unforeseen problem #1 is now the curb has become their new ashtray, with cigarette buts tossed into the street. Just lovely.

There used to be cigarette receptacles in many places, now they are gone.

Here's a scenario: Say there was a law that people could not eat inside fast food restaurants and needed to take their food 15 feet away from the building to consume it - the trash barrels were removed because they are an eyesore and encourage fast food eating....what do you think people would do with their wrappers.

BTW - I field-strip my cigarettes - Always.
