could someome give me the heads up on SC's smoking law? Where I live now smoking is banned almost everywhere except one's home( and I'm sure they will try to make that against the law soon!!)
Depends on where you live in the state. Some counties have banned it and some have not done anything. For example, Greenville county voted to have it banned in the city and in all city restaurants, bars, etc. A judge in city court last week said that it was not 'law' and that the city could not enforce it. The bars and restaurants went back to having smoking areas again. Some have decided to become smoke free by their own choice. From what I last heard, Gov. Sanford is going to try and make it a state law and ban it. He was very interested in the Greenville case last week. They had him on the local news saying the state needs to get involved. I don't know how far that will go. He's just talking now... You'll have to watch our newspapers and keep updated on the situation. He vowed to do something by '08. We'll have to see.

I live in a townhome just outside Greenville. My neighbor (connected to my townhome) CONSTANTLY smokes on the back screened in porch. I cannot open my windows, I cannot enjoy my backyard without gagging on his constant smoke - his son who lives with him also smokes, but not as much - do I have any rights regarding this????? Even with my windows closed I can occasionally smoke his smoke. I feel I am not only unable to enjoy my townhome but am also being subjected to the dangers of second hand smoke. Do you have any information for me. Thanks in advance.

Ask for HOA regulations and talk to the HOA president and board about it
