BARS, RESTAURANTS GO SMOKE FREE
"Enforcement comes down to the public to a large degree," said
Kate Frey, a state public health policy administrator. "They
have the right to speak up if someone is smoking in an area they
shouldn't be."
The new ban prohibits smoking in all restaurants and bars, as
well as at any public event, such as a bingo night, at an
otherwise private social, fraternal or religious club.
The Health and Human Services Department's tobacco control
program is the only authority that can handle complaints and
intervene, she said.
