I would guess that the late start date is designed to give the Legislature 
the option of imposing State wide regulation if they so desire.  If Minneapolis, 
Bloomington, Rochester, Duluth and Saint Paul all have some kind of smoking 
ban that is not identical then there will be a desire for uniformity.  Having a 
March start date would give a brief window to the legislature to act.  

Just an opinion not advocating one way or the other.
