In California, it is okay to smoke in a private club or a tobacco parlor. They have to have certain licenses in order to become a smoking parlor.

You are just reinforcing my point.

Not everywhere is California.

These things are not permitted in Delaware.

The Elks and Mosse Lodges, Veterans Organizations and Volunteer Fire Departments are the ONLY places that smoking is permitted in Delaware and only when they are conducting fundraising efforts.

That may be literally true, but it's not accurate. After the ban went into effect in 1998, at least three businesses I know of went "private," selling memberships and following all stated laws. They were sued out of business for reasons ranging from "unfair business practices" to noise complaints. I have their names and addresses if you doubt it. Other "private" clubs such as the VFW are not permitted to allow smoking and many have simply closed. In smokeshops it's legal for both employees and customers to smoke--guess those workers don't count. Even so, more than 135 tobacconists in the People's Republik of Kalifornia have closed their doors forever. Guess they don't count, either.
