I still see people(probably most likely either patients at this place, or friends visiting a patient there) smoking in front of hospitals, despite the smoke-free campus rules many hospitals have stupidly imposed. Ditto with park and beach smoking bans, in the few places that have such stupid outdoor smoking prohibitions.
I haven't visited my former community college since a campus smoking ban affecting all their campuses took effect in March of this year, but I imagine there's still a lot of disobedience of their new rule, which is no smoking on campus whatsoever. There already was disobedience that started to occur, when their several campuses adopted very partial outdoor smoking bans in 2005(usually only outside of a few entrances/exits into that college, where that entrance/exit was designated as non-smoking).
