From AL.com:

Ninety-two percent of Alabama voters agree that people should not be exposed to secondhand smoke in the workplace, according to a poll released Monday by the American Cancer Society.

The results of the poll, conducted among 503 randomly selected registered voters across the state from Dec. 14-18, was released Monday during a news conference at the Statehouse.

The poll also showed 78 percent of the respondents favored a law making all Alabama workplaces smoke-free.

I wonder what percentage of respondents actually work at a place where smoking is allowed.  I would not be one bit surprised if the 78% in favor of a workplace smoking ban already work in a smoke free workplace and simply want their preference imposed on the other 22%, some of which may have chosen to work in such an environment of their own free will and do not support a law to stop it.

Maybe I’ll try to obtain and look through the poll numbers if I get the time.
