This happened in Washington state. You have to be 15 feet from the entrance of a public place. I'm a nonsmoker and didn't vote for this. I didn't know anyone who was in favor of this, but it passed anyway.
One day my sister was outside on the sidewalk downtown having a cigarette. A woman with her child were walking up the sidewalk. When they got close to my sister the woman pulled the child close to her and covered the child's mouth with her had as they passed by my sister, who was outside, with her cigarette. She must have been in favor of this dumb law.
