In jakarta now, people can't smoke in public area :) there is special room for smoker i think that's good idea from jakarta gubernur

I live in California-USA where there is no smoking in any public facility-restaurants, bars, bowling alleys....however smoking is allowed on Native American land and they own nearly all the casinos here in california.

Singapore has banned smoking areas and encourage people not to smoke

Not just yet. There are some restaurants that won't allow it. Election time is coming up and one of the things on the ballot is to ban smoking in all public places. There is another, smarter solution on the ballot as well. That one is to allow it in certain adult-only places like bars, taverns, as well as outside eating areas.

Yes, smoking in public places is banned in most places (towns) around here.

I will soon be moving from PA to NY and I know that for the entire state of New York smoking in public places (even bars) is forbidden and carries heavy fines. I like this rule a lot because smoke REALLY bothers me and I usually have to leave the room so I can get a breath of clean air.

Yes, It is banned in South Africa. Most cities have non smoking signs. In the beginning it was bad, smokers were not allowed to smoke in public places. Restaurants also. Now a days, there are designated areas in restaurants and its now the norm it has two sections - smoking and non smoking, choice is yours. Shopping centre are a no no , but you get smokers in the toilets. and in the streets....So its not banned altogether. Wonder were it will lead to from here?

In Montana they have in Resturaunts but not in bars thank god! I know TN at the waffle house you can still smoke and at the one in houston

No smoking has not been banned in public places in Pittsburgh.

It was a few years ago in New York. We like to be the first for a lot of things.

Yes, I believe Toronto was one of the first places in North America to begin banning smoking in restaurants and bars. Now they are talking about creating laws that people can't smoke in their cars if they have kids.

In Texas just about every city in North Texas has banned smoking in public places...

should and must banned since smoking is very injurious to health

I live about 2 hours outside of Seattle. So far as I know in my town, we can't smoke within 25 feet of the entrance of a public place. The main street in my town is mainly a strip of bars, so you can imagine the frustration in trying to find a place to smoke while drinking, haha!

am from india in our country in some places we cannot smoke openly.but it is rare.but in max areas people don't follows these rules and regulations.......

yes

country has banned smoking in public but of no use

In Norway smoking has been baned in public places since 2004. Even though I sometimes smoke, I celebrate the non smoking law. It is much more confortable to go out. It is cold to have to go outside to smoke, so when winter comes many people, me included, smoke less. It's a good thing.

No yet, but other nearby cities have, so it might be coming. It doesn't bother me one bit.

here it is not allowed in public places
