I can't speak for Conn or Maine - but we haven't stopped working on repeal in Delaware. And even though I don't live there anymore I am still working with them.
Repeal the law, or start some private clubs where smoking is allowed. Ive been to private clubs, I join at the door going in the first time.
Again, I can't speak for Conn. or Maine - but it is impossible in Delaware to do what you suggest. We had looked into it long before the ban was enacted.
Your position on the bans is greatly appreciated.
As for those that choose to make comparisons between the California ban and those now in NY, Maine, Conn and Delaware - there is one word that makes a major difference - WEATHER.
