Jackson, MS Approves Smoking Ban; Exempts Bars and Restaurants [12/26-4]
Excerpts from: Council approves ban on smoking Ordinance exempts restaurants,
bars
By Jimmie E. Gates The
Clarion Ledger [12/26/03]
The ordinance passed Tuesday prohibits smoking in bingo parlors when a game
is in progress, shopping malls, sports arenas and other enclosed structures.
It will take effect in 30 to 45 days.
The ban, however, exempts bars and restaurants.
"If you're going to have a smoking ban, it should be across the board,"
Burks said.
An ordinance normally takes effect 30 days after passage, but the minutes still
must be signed by the mayor and advertised in the newspaper, City Clerk Eddie
Jean Carr said.
