Congress has not issued any nationwide federal smoking bans for any locations. All smoking bans are due to local or state ordinances. 28 states have statewide bans on smoking in all enclosed public places and 10 have no ban on any non-government owned locations. One reason why schools are targeted is because of the toxic properties of second hand smoke and the age of the students.

From opencarry.org- Oregon is a traditional open carry state. However, their preemption statute only covers concealed handgun license holders from city or county passed bans against loaded firearms in public places. To our knowledge, only the cities of Portland, Beaverton, Tigard, Oregon City, Salem, and Independence have passed loaded firearms bans encompassing all public places, and other cities have passed bans specific to Parks. Also, all "public buildings" are also off limits throughout the entire state unless you have a concealed handgun license.
Being a smoker, of course I'm not crazy about the bans, but I acknowledge that second hand smoke is not a good thing. I think its stupid though that smoking should be banned in certain public places where other activity is going on that is just as, shall we say, just as unhealthy as smoking, ie. casinos, bars, bingo halls, and certain places of work. I also think its sad that people who attend AA meetings in public places can't smoke. Its hard enough to get off the bottle without having to NOT smoke. Also, I think cigarette smokers dug their own grave on these civic bans. We have had plenty of chances to speak our minds to public officials and get fair treatment, but I think we all shrugged our shoulders and said the non-smokers would win. I sell cigarettes at my job, and I know there are a lot of smokers out there. We will criticize the bans, but its our own fault.
