The law that has been passed is so poorly written that smoking in parking lots is also forbidden. Apparently a cigarette is worse for your health than the car smoke you have to breathe inside a parking lot. Portugal as also banned smoking indoors on January 1st.

One of the most surprising studies came from Johns Hopkins which proved "that secondhand smoke levels at bars and restaurants in Baltimore, MD are 29.6 (500 divided by 16.9) to 238 (500 divided by 2.1) times SAFER than OSHA regulations." This came 6-week's before Baltimore's smoking ban was enacted (1/1/08). I hope Hopkins continues their study to see if the ban is grounds for any real change in the quality of air in Baltimore. TheIssue.com recently did a feature on the controversy surrounding smoking ban's, culled from a variety of insightful blog post's. It is a good piece for anyone looking to learn all aspects of the seemingly endless debate.
