Salina Adopts Smoking Ordinance Affecting Restaurants
Salina enacted a smoking ban in all restaurants from 5 AM to 9 PM effective January 9, 2003. A restaurant is defined as seating at least 11 people, with a bar waiver for establishments receiving under 30 percent of revenue from food. Alcohol outlets must report liquor sales and total revenue to the state. Two commissioners held differing views during discussions, reflecting tensions between public health and civil liberties.
