No smoking in Massachusetts

Massachusetts is banning all smoking in bars and restaurants beginning July 5th, thus becoming the 6th state in the US to enact such a ban (the other 5 are California, New York, Connecticut, Maine and Delaware). Not that it has any practical meaning for me - every city and town that I ever visit has already banned smoking in the restaurants, and those who haven't are probably located in the great beyond generally called "Westah Wustah" ("West of Worcester", for those who don't know the Masshole dialect - Worcester is kind of Massachusettsian Riihimäki minus the trains and the culture) and probably don't have any restaurants anyway.
