The St. Joseph County comprehensive tobacco ordinance includes all restaurants and bars in the County, putting an end to secondhand smoke inhalation in St. Joe County and thereby protecting the health of all workers and patrons. The St. Joseph County comprehensive tobacco ordinance was signed by Representative Mike Kruk and introduced to the County Council on November 9, 2010. It has been assigned to the Human Services/Criminal Justice Committee. The Council will meet again on November 23, 2010 to discuss the ordinance. Please show your support and sign the petition!

If people want to smoke they should do it outside. Dont make the rest of us deal with the fumes.

St. Joe needs to get with the times. No reason we should still be dealing with this in 2010
