Well, if you're a resident in Maine, not only can you NOT smoke anywhere in public facilities including restaurants and bars, it is now against the law to smoke in your vehicle if you have a child under 16 years as a passenger. I'm a non-smoker so it doesn't affect me. However, living in Maine and living so close to New Hampshire, I'll have to remember to urinate before I leave the house or stop in Kennebunk and use the rest stop. I can't afford $1,000 fine if I have to pee in the woods.

I love the no smoking with children under 16, although it should be 18. I think it's child abuse! I lived with smoking parents and it was really discusting! It cost me too, alot of bronchitus and sinus problems. Including ear aches. Smokers are harming their children. Now that we have the knowledge and know the affects we should start rescuing helpless children.
