I went to the grocery store (here in Texas) this morning, and noticed a sign which read:

No Smoking within 150 feet of store entrance

I thought to myself, hmm, 150 feet would put me in the middle of the highway. Ridiculous

Almost as stupid as parking garages having "no smoking" signs. Automobile exhaust. Now that's much less dangerous than cigarette smoke.

I find it heartbreaking to learn that a Washington / California / New York style ban has entrenched itself in the Lone Star State.  Do you know if this is a State law or a City or County ordinance?

It is truly a sad day in America if our Texas cowboys (and cowgals) can't smoke anymore......

In Illinois it is illegal to smoke on an train platform. Even if it is outdoors.

A grocery store chain in MA went the same way, I now boycott them because of it - About 6K of my money per year is now going to another store
