Smoking ban coming to Va. Really?
Smoking Ban Passes In Va. – WTOP
I though the commonwealth, long a home of the tobacco industry, would hold out a lot longer before any type of smoking ban:
Starting Dec. 1, smoking will be banned in most restaurants and bars, although it would be permitted in private clubs, on some outdoor patios and in separate ventilated rooms.
While I think the marketplace would take care of this within five years for the most part, I won’t be complaining when I come home from a bar not smelling of smoke.
Alexandria tried to create a ban two years ago (The Post, H/T Folley.net), but were unsuccessful. Remember, in this commonwealth when they say “state’s rights” they mean it. Local jurisdiction rights, not really.
