シカゴヒルトンホテルは1927年に建設された米国でも由緒あるホテルである。総客室、1,544、喫煙客室は
78室( 5%)ですべて10階にある。州法により、ホテル内すべてのレストラン、バーは全面禁煙である。
バーにはたくさんの客でごった返していたが、顧客すべてががスモーク・フリーである環境を心地よく思い、
人生を謳歌しているように見えた。

市内を歩いても室内全面禁煙と15フィート喫煙禁止との表示は建物入口近辺至る所に掲示されていた。
「規制に関する不満はイリノイ州保健局で受け付け登録します」と、www.smoke-free illinois gov.の
ホームページと電話番号とが記載されていた。

シカゴのビル街を歩いて行くとレストラン、カフェの出入口に限らず、ほとんどのオフィスビル正面に喫煙禁止
の標識を見る。2007年10月に訪れたニューヨーク市と比べても、禁煙標識板はシカゴ市の方が多いように
感ぜられた。しかし、喫煙規制法が制定された後、数年経過すると、簡易禁煙表示ははがされ消滅して行く
ように思われる。そのときは、誰もがその規制処置を疑問視しなくなった段階に達したと解釈できる。
