While I totally agree with you on this the main argument behind banning smoking in public places is that second hand smoke can cause cancer as well. Smoking in enclosed public areas is banned in the entire state of Delaware and I think California, and is also banned in New York City and I'm sure many counties across the nation (I know mine is one
). Anyway, the same would go for marijuana smoke. Second hand mj smoke effects others, not just those smoking. Which is why I agree with Dee that the government wouldn't make it legal to smoke in hashish bars like it is in other countries. Marijuana could however be legalized for private use.
