Initial approval was given to proposed smoking bans in public places by council members in both governments. These votes of approval are coming a week after Columbia City Council also “gave initial approval of a workplace smoking ban.”
If the Greenville ordinance passes smoking would be prohibited “in restaurants, bars and private clubs and extend 10 feet from entrances. Smokers could be fined $50 for lighting up, while businesses that allow them to do so could be fined $100 for the first offense and $200 for each one after.”
Going to Argentina earlier this year I was amazed at the sheer number of people that puff away and have little regard for non-smokers. Do you think one day in the not too distant future all states in the U.S. will have banned smoking in restaurants and bars?
