What is significant about the next few weeks? The law has been in effect for many months now. I do not follow Illinois politics very closely, though, so if there are developments, I would be interested to hear them.

I, too, hate cigarettes -- I watched two grandparents die from smoking. But if we illegalize stuff we don't like, where will it stop?

I personally think the free-market is doing a great job of responding to the increase in consumer second-hand smoke consciousness. I’m not a fan of smoke either, and thanks to many people like me, many restaurants have opted to close off or remove their smoking sections.

To assume that legislation is necessary and that businesses won’t respond to consumer demands (whether that be a smoke-free restaurants or a bar where smoking is allowed.) is just one example of our legislators complete ignorance.

Anyway, great post Josh!
