No More Tobacco

On November 7, 2006, Ohio became completely smoke free, thanks to voters passing the state wide smoking ban. Ohio is really good at enforcing these laws as well.  The small places that you wouldn’t expect to be law abiding, actually are, thanks to hefty fines for a non compliant establishment. In the rare event you are in Ohio and find a public establishment with ashtrays for the patrons or see an unlawful smoking act you can conact someone to take care of the issue. All public establishments must dispaly a sign with a telephone number on it to report violators. If you see such a violation, or know of one, please call 1-866-559-OHIO (6446). It is truly a pleasure to visit towns across the state and know that any establishment entered will be completely smoke-free. We believe all states should follow their buckeye friends and implement a smoking ban. Think of the lives that could be saved by showing people they CAN go in their favorite restaurant/bar and have a good time, without cigarettes.
