Canciamilla predicted that if AB 379 succeeds in limiting smoking in vehicles, other private property will be targeted next.

No doubt it will be. I've never understood how people could smoke in a car with the windows up. It's kind of like a gas chamber. But, it is quite possible to have the windows open, or even just the driver's window open and the cigarette held near it and the smoke blown out of it, and the smoke is hardly noticable. I've been in cars with smokers who have done that and the smoke is not noticable while the person is smoking or afterward. Of course, "science" tells us that if you get even the slightest whiff of tobacco smoke -- not even a whiff, but just a hint of its aroma -- well, you're on the express train to the Promised Land.

In a house even with the ventilation going, the smoke still kind of hangs around for a while -- so my guess is that goverment will incrementally work toward banning it at home, as well.

IMHO, we're way past the point where citizens need to be telling the state to $@!* off.

The whole article has some more details. I wasn't aware of this little tidbit (further reinforcing a path toward banning):
Supporters of Koretz's bill say two relatively new developments improve prospects for passage:

• In January, the California Air Resources Board became the nation's first air regulator to declare secondhand smoke a toxic air pollutant, on a par with cancer-causing diesel soot, asbestos and lead.

LOL Bogus science tells us that yes. While science refuses to tell people that one instance of homosexual sex acts CAN send you to the promise land, and most certainly puts you at very serious medical risk. If they want to make laws to keep people healthy, THAT would be a much more realistic and beneficial place to start.
