Guidance on Ohio's new smoking ban

Just an FYI to all interested parties. Last night, there was some discussion and disagreement as to when the newly passed smoking ban actually takes affect. After waking up and feeling like I smoked a pack myself, I decided to do some research. I know I'm quite excited for December 7th to arrive. No more waking up with my hair reaking like an ashtray!

Ohio voters passed Issue 5 on Nov. 7, 2006, creating Ohio’s indoor smoking ban under a new chapter of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) effective Dec. 7, 2006. This new law requires “public places” and “places of employment” be smoke free as of that date. These business and organizations must also post “No Smoking” signs that contain the telephone number 1-866-559-OHIO (6446) for reporting violations; and remove ashtrays and other smoking receptacles.

Hope this helps clear the air ;-)
