See, the reason I think this new law of ours is so unrealistic is because, especially in a city like Chicago, it's pretty much almost impossible for you to find a place that is 15 feet from any public place. A lot of people are starting to smoke inside their cars, which is a safe haven. I honestly don't see how people in the big cities who take public transportation get around this, assuming they have to observe it like they observe other laws. We're not talking about just 15 feet from where you live or work. We're talking about 15 feet from ANY place that is public.
Anyway, I'll be keeping my eyes open to see how they will actually enforce this new law.
PS - The only time I've ever smoked was when I was really drunk. In fact, the fact of whatever I smoked was just a cigarette is still in question.
