Alderman says restaurant industry stalling smoking ban consideration
Alderman Patrick O'Connor says the ordinance banning smoking in restaurants, bars and workplaces has a “good chance” of passing in a Health Committee vote scheduled for Thursday.The committee put off a vote on the ordinance earlier this month after restaurant officials asked for more time to review proposed amendments to the law.O'Connor says the Illinois Restaurant Association has tried to stall the vote.
Restaurants being smoke-free is one thing, but music venues and bars are the areas where I want to be able to avoid smokers.
