Here in PA, bars can allow smoking, as long as food sales are less than 20% of the revenue, and no one under 18. My husband plays in a band at some of these and it's pretty disgusting how smelly he is when he comes home.
You can't in Washington, but, I believe you still can at the Casinos on Indian Reservations here.
that is about what I was going to say: I don't know of a casino that doesn't allow smoking at the bars. So any state with casinos would fall into that category.
Hopefully not. I'm waiting for the public outdoor smoking ban to come to a city near me.
Out of curiosity, what is an outdoor smoking ban? That seems odd to me. If you've banned smoking both indoors and outdoors, isn't that de facto banning of smoking altogether?

that's what they would like. see, the north never stopped fighting the civil war.

Anchorage has banned smoking in public parks. You can have barbeques and inhale all that fine burning charcoal all day long, but do not let them catch you lighting up.
Obviously this is not about health. It is only about control by fascist liberal freaks.
I don't know of any. In CA the bans have been in place so long that when my kids saw someone smoking in public when we were out of state they were shocked by it. That's not to say that they don't have friends who smoke now that they are adults, or that they haven't tried it, but it's really more of a "out of sight and out of mind" activity.
I miss the good ole 80's, the last decade when you could light up a cig after having dinner or while having some mixed drinks at a club. It seems like smoking bans have gone over the top, and the once proud American smokers ( which undoubtely gave males that macho attitude, and gave women that sexy, enticing look) are now treated like lepers. My dad has even told me about the time when ashtrays were available inside hospital rooms (ok, I agree this needed to be stopped).
So, if you live or know an area where smoking is still not seen as a vicious and disgusting act, please tell us.
Try Kentucky and you can get a bourbon to go with it.
