Please call, write, and email Governor Strickland and all of the Ohio representatives and demand that they support SB346 to restore those exemptions that the business owners and Ohio citizens were denied following the issue 5 election. The official ballot language voted on by the people stated as follows:

Exempt from the smoking restrictions certain locations, including private residences (except during the hours that the residence operates as a place of business involving non-residents of the private residence), designated smoking rooms in hotels, motels, and other lodging facilities; designated smoking areas for nursing home residents; retail tobacco stores, outdoor patios, private clubs, and family-owned and operated places of business
