Since the beginning of January this year (2008), Illinois had passed a law as to where it was illegal to light up almost anywhere in public. There has been a lot of complaints about the law and has already been over 600 offenders of the law.How has their been 600 offenders in only 18 days? Well it’s been said that most of the reporting is coming from the establishments already in Illinois, such as your local grocery store and so on.
However the law enforcers in Illinois seem to not be surprised with the 600 people that have already violated the law. They have more supporters than people who have actually offended the crime.They say that more than 50% of the people don’t like the law, and 36% of non-smokers don’t agree with it as well.
As we can see, Illinois is trying hard to help people break down one of the ugliest habits people can get. Smoking. A lot of people are quite upset over this issue and I don’t blame them seeing how we have our own freedoms in this country.
But for those of you that are trying to quit and move on, maybe a piece of information like this could be inspirational to you.
No matter what circumstances, so far it seems that Illinois is going to keep it’s law, at least for now.
