Keep indoor ban and ban within say 10 feet of entrance to business or government building. I do think an exemption should be made for designated smoking lounges or bars. But places likes grocery stores, retail, offices, etc don’t need smoking to be allowed.

I personally think that the sooner we get people off of tobacco the better, but I think at this point most people are aware of the dangers that tobacco poses, so I think having smoking bars is fine, also I think that regular cigarettes should be outlawed and people should transition to other forms of nicotine intake such as vaping, hookah etc.

I don’t miss having to change my clothes and jump in the shower after coming home from a smokey restaurant. I actually had a separate coat that I only wore to smokey restaurants and another one for elsewhere.

I don’t mind if people smoke outside, but they need to increase the distance from the entrance. Would also be nice if they had the smoking area downwind of the entrance.
