Va. passes smoking ban in most restaurants
February 19, 2009
The Washington Post: The Virginia General Assembly has voted to approve a measure that prohibits smoking in most of the state's bars and restaurants, and the governor has said he will sign it into law. Starting Dec. 1, smoking will be banned in most restaurants and bars, although it would be permitted in private clubs, on some outdoor patios and in separate ventilated rooms.
Virginia will become the first state in the South to ban smoking in both restaurants and bars. Twenty-three other states and the District of Columbia have enacted prohibitions to curtail smoking in public places.
