>You can still smoke in dedicated bars Al (i.e. bars without restaurants)
I thought that was the old Shreveport law, but that the new state law banned it even in bars unless there was video poker. |

However, there are a few other major exceptions where smoking still is allowed: bars, casinos, horse racing tracks, off-track betting facilities, bingo halls, hotel rooms, tobacco stores, Mardi Gras ball facilities and assisted living and nursing home facilities where people have requested to be in smoking rooms. Also, customers can smoke on outdoor patios at restaurants, and prisoners can smoke in Louisiana's jails until 2009. source: http://www.katc.com/Global/story.asp?S=5873851%20 |

Yep, if you read the statute, it clearly says just "a bar" is exempt.
And it is illegal in LA to smoke with a kid under 13 in the car, regardless of the windows being up or down. |

I sure would not take my kids in a room or car full of smoke. This law does protect the kids and the parents should know better anyway.

I would smoke if it were not a health issue.
Like a lot of folks my age, back in the 70's, I smoked socially. I really didn't inhale that much, but there was a certain convivialness to bars and night clubs in those days.
Smoking was part of a 'friendly socialness' to have along with you drink. I always liked the aroma of the first puff of a cigarette that was lit with lighter fluid (not propane). Very aromatic. Still we're better off without it. |

Always like the smell of my uncles pipe burning. He had many different flavors to pick from.

You can't smoke on the campus of Highland Hospital. It's funny to watch employees hike to this field behind it just to smoke. You know, I'd consider giving up such a nasty habit if it were so darned hard to do and knowing it will kill me. Obviously it prevents these folks brain cells from working properly.

Thank you
Thank you everyone... It is comforting to hear kind words from friends. The doctors said the massive stroke that killed Rick was directly related to his heavy smoking all those years. Standing next to my brothers grave I can smell the salt marsh and through the trees can see Battery creek, across which is Port Royal that my brother and I both loved so much.
