As I understand it, it makes it unlawful to smoke in any public place except in designated areas. This includes restaurants, stores, offices, etc. It's supposed to just give the management of such places the clout to ask people to stop polluting the air. There are no penalties to smokers, and only small fines to establishments who don't enforce the law. The law just went into effect -- we'll see how it works.
