Oh my gosh I'm so happy about the smoking law. Where can I find the actual code or full version for this law, or where did you find this information at, I'm only familiar with Georgia code. What state did this law take effect in? I need to send it to someone that has been breaking it!Posted 06-27-2008 at 05:19 AM by HParr
