Ohio smoking ban -- again

The Buckeye Liquor Permit Holders Association to submit a proposal for a constitutional amendment, along with 1,417 signatures, to the Ohio Attorney General to roll back Ohio’s smoking ban and allow smoking in bars and other establishments not making more than 10% of their gross revenue from the sale of food.

The next step would be to circulate petitions in those types of establishments across the state in order to get the 140,000 signatures needed to have the proposal introduced in the legislature before the end of the current session at the end of the month. (Cin’ti. Enquirer article)

The proposal would also supersede any state or local law more restrictive of smoking
