I am looking for some links to support the story but basically on Thursday Dec.7 a public smoking ban is going in effect in Ohio.

This is all bars, restaurants, and workplaces.

Truck drivers smoking in their cabs will also be breaking the law and there is talk of placing "No Smoking" signs on the doors of cabs.

:twisted: :evil: :twisted: :evil: :P

 

Stop smoking.

 

Only in America, people need to get a life and quit trying to tell everyone else what to do.

Just another moronic law/idea. :lol:

 

I'm pretty sure what ya do in your car is your own business, within the legal limits. Some smoking restrictions keep you a certain distance away from the building too.

I was in pheonix with a Mayflower driver and I'll never forget the look everyone gave us when we lit up a cigarrette. Needless to say, we were asked to do the shot we ordered and leave, not because we were stubborn...but because we had no ashtrays@!

 

What a joke :twisted: :twisted:

 

I second that.

 

If true, they will need to have a separate division for the DOT or State Patrol to enforce it. Let's see.....they could call it the "Cigarette Safety Patrol." :P

 

I can see in public places like NY and California does but not in the privacy of your own cab

 

As a smoker, I agree that smoking should be banned in places like resturants and the such where people go to enjoy a smoke free environment. Kids (especially) don't need to be around that. Bars without ventilation gross me out though, as I hate my OWN 2nd ahnd smoke.

Places like bars should be exempt. I love a Marlboro with my Bud light, thats just how it is :lol:

Should we ban alcohol from resturants next?

 

If I owned the trucks you were smoking in, well you wouldn't be smoking. You wouldn't be spilling your coffee or tearing my property in any way. The smokers I have been around have no respect for anyone including themselves. They think it is a God given right to blow smoke in my face and through their butts all over the ground. When they show me a little respect, I will leave them alone. How would any of you smokers feel if I farted in your face? I see no difference in you blowing smoke in my face, other than your smoke can have long term health repercussions to me.
