More cities across the US have joined the legal fight against second hand
smoke.
A new study by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows 30 of America's 50 largest cities have anti-smoking laws. The rules generally prevent people from smoking in bars, restaurants and private workplaces.
26 states have statewide anti-smoking policies in place. Arkansas is not one of those states, however 4 cities have some variation of a smoke free policy in place, according to no-smoke.org. Those cities are Fairfield Bay, Fayetteville, Highfill, Pine Bluff and Chandler. Fairfield Bay is the only town to include all workplaces, restaurants and bars.
