The Iowa Senate just passed a statewide smoking ban!!! The Governor has already said he will sign it. The ban goes into effect THIS July 1. I will be counting the days. There are a few restaurants in town that I have wanted to try, but can’t because of the haze of cigarette smoke.
Recently, we walked into a local bar and grill and immediately walked right back out when we saw the air quality.
So, thank you, Iowa State Government! We will be able to spend even more of our hard earned bucks on local businesses!
Good news.
You know, it’s not really all that hard to go outside for a few minutes to grab a smoke. In fact, it can often end up with you meeting new people when at a bar setting.
The only time I have issues with it is when it’s bloody well cold out. I don’t tend to even socially smoke in the winter due to this.
But definitely a step in the right direction.
Im with you on this issue. Our county has been smoke-free for about two years and the state has been smoke-free for about a year. I hate smoke with a passion. The only smoke I want to smell is from kettle grill when I am smoking my BBQ baby back pork ribs.
