I'm not sure how I feel about this. Well, I guess I am, I'm very much against it.

The issue was being solved privately, condo groups were taking it upon themselves to not allow smoking in their buildings. I don't see the need for the government to step in and say "here is what you can and cannot do in your own home."

Is this unconstitutional? I think it is, but I don't know which provision would relate to it.

California bans smoking in a car with minors.

I actually agree with this one, not sure there's a way for the private market to fix this, and its essentially child abuse.

I live in CA. If any [censored] Gmen come and try to tell me I can't smoke in my apartment, they're gonna get acquainted with the business end of my fists.

I believe they just send a big fine over your way. Not 100% sure, it's in the article though.

As for 2nd hand smoke, I'm not sure, try googling it?
