There are exceptions (of course) and I am a bit foggy on the details, but it is a great stride forward. Unfortunately it does not ban smoking in workplaces not generally open to the public, so the cigarettes and pipes will continue to gross me out. Maybe the woman that smokes in the bathroom during her break will cease and desist however.
