The powers that be learned from that. Instead of an outright ban, they are just cutting off where we can smoke, one place at a time. I believe a law was just passed in cali banning smoking in privately owned condos and apartments. Next will come houses and all public places.

The funny thing about marijuana is that when it was first outlawed, it was not really illegal. They simply required a tax stamp on marijuana sold or possessed. Only problem was that no such stamp existed.

To answer your question, will smoking ever be outlawed entirely, no. Will it be illegal to smoke in restaurants, bars, workplaces, indoors or outdoors? Probably within the next 10 years.
