Scope and Contents

Act 27 of 2008 was originally introduced as Senate Bill 246 by Senator Stewart Greenleaf. The law prohibits smoking inside many public places (restaurants, workplaces) but does offer exemptions for certain drinking establishments, private clubs, casinos, tobacco shops, and nursing homes. Belfanti, a smoker at the time this bill was introduced, was opposed to a total ban and was in favor of the exemptions.
