Well a lot of states here in the U.S. are doing the same. And there are many who do not apply the same standards to smoking weed to cigarettes which makes not a damn bit of sense.
Like here in California, where smoking violations normally carry a $500+ fine.
Where as smoking marijuana in the exact same situation carries only a $50 fine.
I'm goign to get addicted and eventually get lung cancer form marijuana as marijuana is not a public health risk. The current restrictions should apply but it does not need to be regulated past that and I would allow that in bars (coffee shops) and the advertising ban on tobacco would not apply to weed either.
And here is where the real insanity starts. Obviously weed has some kind of magical smoke which does absolutely no harm at all. Where as tobacco smoke is custom designed to seek out and kill non-smokers.
If perfumes started sickening enough people then, yes, they should be banned too. Where I was raised, before the law, there were 0 resteraunts and bars that were smoke free.
There are places that already ban them, and have for decades. Sausalito passed it's ban way back in 1991. Ironically it was illegal to wear perfume in bars there while it was still legal to smoke in them.
