  • 22.11.2011 Most Bars In Marion County Could Be Smoke-free Soon

    A surprise bid by the City-County Council president to pass a stronger smoking cigarettes ban covering bars and bowling alleys -- in the waning days of the Republican majority -- has caught two key groups off guard.Democrats had been making plans to push for an even stronger measure after they take control of the council Jan. 1. No matter who's in charge, their votes are vital for passage of an expanded smoking cigarettes ban in any form, since many Republicans are opposed.And anti-smoking cigarettes advocates called the move by Republicans -- with backing from Mayor Greg Ballard --...

    Forty-seven years have passed since the surgeon general first reported that smoking cigarettes causes lung cancer. Since that time, cigarettes use has greatly declined in Montana and across the nation. Much of this decline is attributed to tobacco-related policy implemented by federal and state governments.Evidence-based policies that decrease the number of youth who start using cheap cigarettes and increase the number of adults who quit using tobacco include: increasing the price of all tobacco products; eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke; and funding comprehensive tobacco-use...

Outdoor Smoking Ban Doesn't Change Much For Local Diners

Back in January 2010, the Los Angeles City Council, in a unanimous 12-0 vote, amended Municipal Code 41.50 sections A and B to ban smoking cigarettes on restaurant patios and in outside areas of other businesses that serve food. The ban, signed into action by the mayor last March, took effect immediately but was not immediately enforced. Instead, the past year has been used to educate the public and businesses, allowing a grace period to ease compliance. That grace period is now over.

The state of California already prohibits smoking cigarettes inside restaurants and bars, but Los Angeles took the ban further, and as of March 8, any business with an outdoor seating area must prohibit smoking cigarettes within 10 feet of those areas. Kiosks and food trucks are included in the ordinance and cannot allow smoking cigarettes within 40 feet of the location. The ban does not apply to businesses that are closed to host private parties. Violators–including restaurant patrons–can be penalized with fines up to $500.

With the ban, Los Angeles becomes the largest U.S. city to ban smoking cigarettes in outdoor dining areas and joins neighbors Pasadena, Santa Monica, Glendale and Beverly Hills with similar ordinances prohibiting outdoor smoking cigarettes.

Around the neighborhood, residents and businesses alike seem to not be phased by the new rule. Part of the ordinance requires signs announcing the ban be clearly posted, as Masa has done, but otherwise, few are yet to be seen in restaurant windows.

At Food Lab on Sunset Boulevard, ashtrays had been removed by employees but patrons still smoked at the outdoor tables.

“I’m waiting to be told not to,” Andy Kolar explained, smoking cigarettes an American Spirit while seated at a table on the sidewalk dining area.

Others questioned who was going to enforce the rule and how. “It’s a smoking cigarettes neighborhood,” Jenny Pratt said. “What are they going to do? The city has money to send out people to give tickets to everyone?”

At Local, chef Justin Cropper explained that patrons have always been considerate of others when smoking cigarettes outside, usually walking away from the outdoor tables and complying politely when asked to refrain. As for the new ordinance, Cropper expected the same cooperation. “Everybody’s been totally cool,” he said.

“Most of the people I talk to see it as another incentive to quit,” Mohammed El Aman, a neighborhood diner who also works as a waiter said. “The ones who are going to have a problem are the ones who already try to hide their discount cigarettes under the table as though I can’t smell it.” El Aman also noted that having a smoke-free workplace was something he was looking forward to.

Lisa Barron, seated at an outdoor table at Local with her daughter in a stroller, supports the ban because it helps protect kids from second-hand smoke. “People aren’t always aware that they are smoking cigarettes near kids or they don’t care,” she said.

"Smoke-free outdoor dining is good for health, good for business," said Paul Knepprath, Vice President of Advocacy and Health Initiatives for the American Lung Association in California, via email, "The growing trend toward smoke-free outdoor dining is positive as more cities and counties embrace local ordinances to keep dining spaces clear of harmful secondhand smoke."

As an ex-smoker, Matt Hall was supportive of the ban. “I feel sick when I smell smoke cigarettes now,” he said. He also noted that with most outdoor dining areas are located right on busy streets, “car exhaust is probably worse than someone’s smoke, but this is a good rule.”

According to the website Fresh Dining LA, supported by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, the ban is to be self-enforced, as are other city smoking cigarettes bans.
