Fayetteville Bans Smoking

Next year, you probably won`t be able to
light up after a meal at a restaurant in Fayetteville.
The Fayetteville City Council on Tuesday approved a smoking ban
in most public buildings, including restaurants. The aldermen
declined to send the issue to residents for a vote.
But the issue isn`t over. Free Choice Fayetteville, a group
opposed to the ban, says it plans to gather signatures to put a
repeal of the ordinance to the voters.
If the ordinance stands, it will go into effect February First.
The ordinance bans smoking in restaurants, pool halls, government
buildings and other public places. Bars would be exempt from the
smoking ban.
