Do you live in WA state? The same thing happened at the Veterans retirement home in Retsil. The first barrage came in 1986 or so, when a new administrator locked a gate that opened across the street from a tavern that catered to the vets. If they wanted an excursion off grounds he posited, they could ride the bus. Soon after, they banned smoking in rooms. I have heard that they now ban smoking on the grounds, although I cannot verify this, as my friend no longer works there.
No, Delaware. But it sounds pretty much like what they did here.
