tobacco industry has to much of a vested political interest for a ban to be put in place
More & more places are doing exactly that. Tobacco at least used to be one of the cash crops in this area. The state just passed or is passing a ban on smoking in most public places and IIRC by a margin where the govenor couldn't stop it if he tries. The only exemptions are bars, private clubs, and workplaces with less than three employees.
