I have used fewer bags since these bans have gone into effect. I think people don't remember what life was like before these bans. I remember traveling from california to a state without a ban, and buying a few things at walmart. I came out with all my stuff in probably 10 plastic bags. It was convenient - only a few things per bag. I could carry 5 per hand and loaded everything into the car. But the bags were good for one thing - to throw in the trash. I also recall outside the store there were bags blowing across the parking lot in the wind. I also recall going to a state where there was no smoking ban in restaurants. I ate at a restaurant and went home. The next morning I could smell the stale cigarette smoke permeating my clothes from the previous day.
