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.
NO, most have smoking bans in the USA.
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.
Smoking shelters were first used many years ago, but are more widely used today due to smoking bans etc.

Smoking bans are controversial for various reasons. I believe some are necessary like bans in places where there are children but there is a lot of evidence that the studies were rigged, look into it. I personally don't believe secondhand smoke is real. How can someone smoke a pack a day for around 30 years(usually more, from what I see I would say the average age to start smoking is around 15-16) before developing cancer

A shift in consciousness transforms societies. For example, as society became more conscious of the dangers of cigarette smoking, cities and businesses began placing bans on smoking in public.
I'm not sure if they have changed it but I think it's 4 bans until you banned forever!
Many states have enacted laws to protect non smokers from second hand smoke. There is a federal law that bans smoking on airplanes. There are also several states that do not allow smoking in public buildings.
As long as it is in the contract, yes.Additionally, some states have passed public smoking bans. If the apartment contains more than one unit, the landlord may ban smoking under these new laws whether it is in the rental agreement, the lease, or not.
The smoking ban was first introduced to England on July 1 2007, which occurred as a result of the Health Act of 2006. Many other parts of England experienced smoking bans as early as March 26 2006 in Scotland.
