Michigan’s no smoking ban will take effect in two weeks
MID-MICHIGAN -Clearing the air. In just two weeks, Michigan’s no smoking ban will take effect in many public places.
The statewide smoke-free air law goes into effect May 1. Already many local businesses and smokers are gearing up for the change.
Saginaw Street has a good number of restaurants and bars. If you come downtown or go anywhere in the area, even if you sit outside like over at Blackstone’s, you still won’t be able to light up.
Late last year, the governor signed legislation making the state smoke free, meaning no smoking in all bars, restaurants and workplaces. Some casinos and cigar bars are excluded.
Non-smoker Mitch Wardoski says he’ll enjoy his time out even more with most places going smoke free.
On the business end, bars like Firkin and Fox in Burton know the change will have an affect on business. Even under the new law smokers can’t even light up outside.
