Indiana’s Smoke Free Air Law goes into effect on July 1.

You're recall that the state's revolutionary smoking law is riddled with exceptions, exclusions and vivid testaments to endemic political cowardice, topics sufficient to provide hours of worthy discussion -- but the whole issue has come to bore me intensely.

Aroused by legalese? Read the law in its thrilling entirety.
