Minneapolis Approves Citywide Smoking Ban
Jul 23, 2004 12:19 pm US/Central
Minneapolis (AP) The Minneapolis City Council has overwhelmingly approved a smoking ban for bars, clubs and restaurants.
The vote was 12 to 1 in favor of the ban. It goes into effect next March 31st.
Attempts to exempt smaller, neighborhood bars from the ban failed.
Mayor RT Rybak supports the measure.
The Minneapolis action follows a vote by Bloomington earlier this week.
The Bloomington ban is more restrictive because it applies to bars, restaurants and workplaces. Bloomington also banned smoking within 25 feet of entrances, exits, open windows and ventilation intakes.
