Ohio smoking ban upheld over private club exemptions
The Ohio 10th District Court of Appeals ruled that the state health department lacked authority to exempt private clubs from the indoor smoking ban. The ruling sides with voters who supported a broad ban in 2006, rejecting exemptions for clubs like the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The decision favors legislative action or voter input to alter the policy.
