Smoking Ban in Chicago?
The Chicago City Council is expected to pass a law tomorrow banning indoor smoking throughout the city. Following the example of New York City and Boston, the law would prohibit smoking in vitually all indoor work and public places — including restaurants and bars.
The Illinois Restaurant Association is on record as opposed to the law, and is hoping for concessions to be made that will not affect business. Mayor Richard Daley has stressed the need for compromises. It looks like those voices of reason are going to go unheard.
The city attempted to ban smoking two years ago, but the law did not pass.
