Smoking bans all over the world (index)

[mmblz]

Every once in a while we'll see a thread about a smoking ban in some particular city. I've always thought it would be nice to have easy access to all such threads at once, so I finally got around to finding as many of those threads as I could. Suprising how many there are, isn't it? If I missed any threads, let me know

Wow that certainly must of taken some work! Great complation!
Certainly shows the loss of a couple of 'freedoms' that we once had. Wonder how long until tabacoo is Illegal. Can't smoke anywhere anymore practically.

I would have never guessed cuba would have a ban.

Thanks for that effort. Good job.

To quote [D. Generate] in that Nevada link: "Nevada is America's smoking section. Catering to every vice available is part of our appealing charm. If they start messing with that than we're just going to be Utah." Asked what I like best about living in Utah, I often answer, "I-15 southbound." Just kidding—given this is the LDS (Mormon) heartland, I think the populace is remarkably tolerant of the presence of an alcohol swilling, tobacco smoking, two outta three ain't bad, foreigner with peculiar habits like eating with a fork AND a knife.

Here is a thread that mentiones the Omaha, NE ban (http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=38803)

However here is a more exaustive, though still incomplete, listing

International list of smoking bans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_smoking_bans)

US list of smoking bans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_smoking_bans_in_the_United_States)

Arkansas has a statewide ban (with a few semi-sensible exceptions) and Fayetteville has an even stricter ban (with no exceptions BUT some ballsy bar owners are going to court!)

Missed NY also.

The Ohio ban is pretty stiff. Still unclear on whether or not I'll be able to light up a cigar while out fishing with my son on a public lake. I guess I might subject someone hundreds of yards away from me to second hand smoke.

Add PENNSYLVANIA as of 01Jan2007. Bastards!

[mosesbotbol]

Don't forget Italy and Ireland.

Oddly enough, we could see Cuba falling under this ban in the not too distant future. Anyone who signed WHO stuff will eventually have to ban smoking.

I am sure someone on CS can ellaborate more than I can on this...

We must stop this depressing thread!!

[mmblz]

for those pointing out missing bans - if possible, could you see if there is an existing thread about these locations, and link to the thread from here? if not, then start one and post a link to that thread here...
thanks.

Comparing the Anti-Smoking faction to Hitler is just plain wrong...

It could give Hitler a bad name.

Starting in September, smoking will be banned in all licensed food and liquor establishments in New Hampshire. An exception is made for private social clubs.
