Does Ohio have a no smoking ban in restaurants bars etc, or do individual cities have them, I am thinking there are none, but not sure.

Yes, as the website describes, there is a statewide ban on smoking in any public place (with few exceptions). There are some questions remaining about how effective enforcement will be since it has started very recently. But for the most part, you should not find smoking allowed in restaurants, bars, etc.

Yep. Individual cities had banned public indoor smoking before, but now it's statewide.

Yep. They got enough people on the "We Need Government to Protect Us" bandwagon to pass it. Just like good subservient sheep, Ohioans voted away more personal responsibility & freedom. Ba-a-a-a!

I'm a non-smoker and don't like to be around cigarette smoke either, but this law is just another extension of the Nanny State.

I kind of feel bad for the people who put up their glass sections, etc. in restaurants and now they're useless, but it is nice to go into a bar where I'd once expect to come out smelling like an ashtray and not reek of smoke or have trouble breathing (well, in the bars that actually enforce it, which isn't many).

I believe Toledo had a little bit more than a year on Columbus.
