Wonderful news! No one should be forced to breathe dangerous secondhand smoke and outdoor places where the public congregates are no exception. Many cities have rightfully banned smoking in outdoor parks, recreational areas, and beaches, and farmers markets are a great next step. Secondhand cigarette smoke is not just a "nuisance" but hazardous and has no place in such locations.

except in Ohio. There...they can breath all the 2nd hand smoke they want. That is what they do on Friday nights.....actually...every night. It is the official state past-time.
Go Ohio!!!!!!

You must not have gotten the memo... Anti smokers are going to live forever.... LOL

I wonder how may rights they will have left (if any) before they decide to end their own life.

I don't know, but they sure seem stressed out a lot of the time.

At markets...I don't like smoke in a crowd at markets. yes, let's ban that too. Done deal!!! See how easy that was.
Hold it!!! I will ensure they have smoking squares on the pavement with a smoking bucket down wind of good people to show good intentions for the hard core smokers. See...I am not that bad..am I?

I knew Dana Reeve died of lung cancer, which is the most common type of cancer. But I have never heard she got lung cancer because of 2nd hand smoke.

Can you provide a link as to where I can get more information..........on her or anyone else (including names) that have died of SHS.
