Smoking and eateries: Rockland’s law as model
Keith Insalaco notes Rockland County’s July 1 smoking law as balanced for both nonsmokers and smokers. The ordinance requires eateries with over 35 seats to dedicate 78 percent of space to non smoking areas, install exhaust systems, and add six foot partitions around smoking sections. It aims to protect clean air without harming tourism or small businesses.
