Since support for smoke bans is so pervasive, public monitoring can help authorities enforce the regulations. Violations should be treated the same way a good citizen might react to a speeder in a school zone or a meth house in the neighborhood or someone seen dumping waste oil into a lake: Report 'em. Oh........My........God!
Pure hysteria, in the truest sense of the word.
Citizen snitches. Shades of World War II Germany and the old Soviet Union.

In Delaware they have an 800 "hotline" for the snitches..........and they prominently advertise it on billboards up and down the state.
Delaware has one of the highest cancer mortality rates in the nation.....but instead of dealing with the major air quality problems, because they don't want to offend the chemical industry, they chose instead to put bar owners out of business.
