The ballot language for Issue 5 said, "Exempt from the smoking restrictions ... outdoor
patios, private clubs, and family-owned and operated places of business".

Antismokers lied to the voters. They had no intention of exempting anyone.

The language of the initiative, which became law as 3794.01 and 3794.03 of the Revised
Code, and State Department of Health regulation
http :// www .odh.ohio.gov/ASSETS/8D18B2617AD4476CA18A7956AE27AE20/FR52-04.pdf
uses the narrowest possible definitions.

1. A patio has no roof, umbrella or awning and is not enclosed by a fence.

2. A private club has no employees, allows no non-members or children in and meets in a
freestanding building.

3. A family owned and operated business is run out of a home (not an office or store), has
no non-family employees or contractors, is not visited by 'public' customers. The
exemption is suspended when visited by plumbers, construction workers or housekeepers.


Senate Bill 346 http :// www .legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=127_SB_346 relazes the
definitions:

1. A patio is an 'outdoor' place not enclosed by permanent walls.

2. A private club is any non-profit organization.

3. A family owned business is not publically traded, has a president from the owning
family, and operates in a freestanding building (or separated by a firewall). In other
words, family owned bars and restaurants may permit smoking.

Why don't you stop being an asswipe?

Do you like having your ass handed to you on a regular basis?

My, my, such rancor and bitterness from a self-professed "friendly
helper" guy. Did I hear transparent and disingenuous hypocrite??

Good source of information you silly obsessed addicted net-monkey. Are
you not aware of the questionable reliability of Wikipedia? I realize
its your primary go-to source during the numerous times that you are
confronted with something beyond your weak mental grasp but it
shouldn't be your crutch anti-intellectual guy.

Anyway, next time you're there check this one out - http :// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinkies
- LOL!! Whadda silly fruitcake.

The BIG N - enjoyin' the show.
