Smokers who enjoy lighting up in a bar or private club in Columbus could soon see an end to this act, 24-Hour News 8’s news partner The Republic reports. Most members of the Columbus City Council support a stronger city ordinance which currently follows state law.
Certain exemptions are provided by state law, including for bars, private clubs, casinos and horse riding facilities. Passage of a local smoking ordinance in 2005 drew heated opposition. The ordinance took effect in 2006 and was similar to the current state law passed in July.
At a special City Council meeting on Monday, the only turn out was of people who favor a stronger ordinance. Councilman Ryan Brand said the lack of opposition reflects changing attitudes toward smoking. Brand also says this is a sign that the time is right to pass a stricter local smoking ordinance.
