Detailed statistical reports of most Los Angeles Times Polls since 1992. Most Californians favor restrictions despite efforts by some legislators to undermine law.
Most people are in agreement.
The poll comes as the state Department of Health Services airs ads on television and radio urging support of the bar smoking ban. Gov. Pete Wilson signed the landmark ban on smoking in enclosed workplaces in 1994. Of the major candidates for governor, only Atty. Gen. Dan Lungren, the likely Republican nominee, has expressed reservations about the ban. On this issue, Lungren appears to be going against the wishes of a majority of his supporters.
