Does anyone have the proposed language of the Minneapolis smoking ban? I am curious to know what it covers (e.g., indoor vs. outdoor spaces) and whether there will be any exceptions (e.g., cigar bars, hookah bars, bars owned by employees).
I noticed that the proposed Saint Paul ordinance would allow smoking outside, which seems fair to me -- especially given some of the comments here about how second-hand smoke poses a smaller threat outside. This seems similar to the New York smoking ban. http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/4769433.html I am a nonsmoker, but I would probably go out of my way to patronize bars and restaurants with patios so my smoking friends could enjoy themselves.
