Illinois just put a statewide smoking ban in effect on Jan. 1. You can't smoke in ANY public building, or within 15' of any entrance. I don't know shy a state would choose to loose a TON of money by having people stay home and have friends over to socialize, drink and smoke a cigarette. I've saved about $450 since the ban started by not going to restaurants or bars. What a crock. Like any smoker is going to a bar if they have to take a walk outside every 20 minutes when it's 20 below 0? The plus side is, now there are massive piles of cigarette butts all over the sidewalks outside bars and restaurants.
