Starbucks bans smoking within 25 feet of all stores

SEATTLE — Starting Saturday, Starbucks will ban smoking within 25 feet of all of its stores.

The decision has some customers fuming.

Starbucks said the goal is to expand its indoor no-smoking policy to its outdoor seating areas.

The new rule applies to every Starbucks in the US and Canada.

While Washington state already has an outdoor smoking ban, some customers in other states are angry and say they'll get their coffee somewhere else.
