STATEWIDE SMOKING BAN BEGINS
Arizona bars will make history tonight when the clock strikes
midnight and a smoking ban falls across the state.
For some bar owners and smokers, they enter the new era
grudgingly.
But voters have spoken, passing the ballot measure last
November.
The Smoke-Free Arizona initiative mandated that smoking cease on
May 1 in nearly all enclosed public places - including bars. The
exception will be at bars and restaurants with patios.
