A handful of Bay Area cities have exceptional tobacco control policies, but many more are in need of improvement, according to a statewide report released this week.

The American Lung Association in California’s State of Tobacco Control 2015 report overall found that many Bay Area cities were leading the state in its policies but a larger number were stagnating, organization officials said.

Well, there you go, nanny state policies dictated by a yearly report by an advocacy group...

I love how vaping is included for bonus points, because there’s SO MANY who die each year from second hand steam...

The USA has already “jumped the shark”——I’m afraid it’s too late.

It’s becoming positively Kafkaesque.

What this country needs is government control.

There should be a 96-year waiting period for the formation of new governments in this country.

Wouldn't it be fun to surround city hall with big tobacco smudge pots?
Especially next to the ventilation system intakes.

the no smoking in somebody else’s business establishment I can live with....

no smoking everywhere......is just plain insane

ive had people fifty yards away pretend to be waving the smoke form my cigarette away with their hand...and covering their mouth and nose as they approach my “position’.

I remember the “Great American Smokeout”

its time for The Greater American SMOKE IN
