Hawaii's smoking laws went into effect November 16, 2006. From reading jmagnus' post, it's pretty much the same as Illinois', except one has to be 20 feet from a public entrance. The fines, I believe, are the same as well.
A lot of bar and restaurant owners did lose money and they even tried to fight it, but they eventually lost. People made a big stink about having to go outside bars to smoke, but you know what? They eventually got used to it and some even enjoy being outside. Of course I live in Hawaii where it doesn't get cold, so....
