There are many parts of the county that you can not smoke inside
any more.

While you seem to have been doing it for some time now, has any looked at or asked about School, City, State laws?

In my Chapter, we had one room, and one room only, that one could smoke in. And it was on the top floor with good ventilation.

There is no place in the country that disallows smoking indoors. There are places that disallow smoking in a work place or a public place, but not "indoors".

Right. When Arlington TX was introducing its ban, we were only allowed to smoke in places that had specific ventilation systems in place. Once the ban went into full effect, only places that were "bar bars" allowed smoking.

AGDee-I am not sure if I am following or understanding your posting.
Most, if not all, offices buildings I have either worked or walked into have "No-Smoking" signs posted.

NYC has a major non-smoklng policy. As do other cities.

My guestions was, and is, asking if there are any bans or controls on smoking in dorms or any living quarters. Or school related buildings for that matter.

Her posting means that no place has said "Smoking is not allowed indoors." That would mean no one could smoke in their own home. What many places have done is say something like "Smoking is not allowed in a public building" or "This is a smoke-free building." Banning smoking in public buildings =/= banning smoking "indoors."
