Starting with July 1, 2012, the statewide tobacco-free legislation goes into effect. Smoking is banned in place of employment, public areas and even restaurants. Smoking is only permitted in bars, cigar bars and Hookah bars. And smoking cigarettes in cars is also allowed. If teenagers under the age of 21 years, who are not employees of the establishment, are permitted into any portion of the establishment at any time, restaurants must be tobacco free. If the entire place is 21 and over, than the establishment may permits smoking inside. Restaurants that only allow inhabitants 21 and up to enter the establishment can permit smoking also.

In response to amendments added to HB 1149, co-authors Rep. Charlie Brown, D-Gary, and Rep. Eric Turner, R-Cicero, dissented to the changes March 1. The bill will move to a conference committee to negotiate the issue.

A proposed new smoking ban that would snuff out cigarettes on restaurant and bar patios seems bound to light up debate at city hall Monday. At least one member of the committee set to debate the ban says he’ll push for it, while another says he’ll push back. “There are more and more regulations and rules about what you can do when you wake up in the morning,” Coun. Dale Henderson said.
