Smoking in Baton Rouge
I have found it very interesting over the past couple of months to notice and to observe the number on smoking students and citizens in the Baton Rouge area. But the amazing thing about this huge number is that many of them do not realize the law that they may be breaking in doing so. As I find myself walking across campus each day, I notice many students standing right outside of buildings along the Student Union and around the Quad smoking cigarettes. Now, several months ago, Governor Kathleen Blanco and the Louisiana legislature passed a law that forbid smoking within 25 feet of an established public complex. Now this seems to me to be saying that if someone happens to smoke in public, that it should be at a certain distance away from the doorway or entrance to that particular building. I have just found it very ironic that many students do not seem to obey or to follow this law. Now the question I am asking here is if this law is really useful and enforcable or just plain rediculous?

I would say not enforcable and just plain ridiculous (not just because I am a smoker).
That is a funny law I had not heard of. I wonder if smokers have heard of it?
Hey Daniel, i was just excited to find out the people actually read my blog!
I hope you are doing great!
