In California the law is part of the labor code and you cannot have people smoke in the workplace, including restaurants and bars that are enclosed by four walls. In the beginning a lot of restuarants tried to make themselves into clubs where the employees were owners and the patrons paid a membership fee and were allowed to smoke but the state cracked down on them. Now there are a lot of bars that won't tell people to stop most of the time, but for the most part people are pretty good about not smoking as much. I can't wait for it to apply outside as well. It's revolting to be waiting in line for a movie and have the person in front of you in line light up. There isn't anywhere you can go to get away. Or when you are at an outdoor mall or want to eat lunch on the patio. Basically, the law has made it so that non-smokers don't get to dine on the patio anymore b/c that's where all the smokers are.
