RICHMOND, Feb. 9 -- The Virginia House of Delegates approved a plan for a ban on smoking covering most of the state's restaurants and many of its bars Monday, marking a significant political and cultural shift for a state whose history has been intertwined with tobacco for centuries.

ReplyDeleteHowever, when reading this article in the Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/09/AR2009020902444_pf.html) I didn't like this statement: "Amendments would permit smoking in rooms separated by doors, even if there is no separate ventilation system. They carved out exceptions for smoking in outdoor patio areas; at restaurants during private functions when the function takes up the entire restaurant; and at clubs or bars at times when under-age patrons are not admitted."
But at least it is a starting point!!!
