Maryland panel seeks exemptions to workplace smoking ban
A Maryland joint committee voted to seek four exemptions to a proposed workplace smoking ban including home offices, employee vehicles, hotels, and stages where films or plays call for smoking. They aim to clarify regulations for easier enforcement, while bars and restaurants received no exemption. The rule, proposed by William Fogle, targets Maryland’s high cancer and heart disease rates, with final action planned around July 1994.
