I’m sure this will be strictly enforced in downtown Detroit
As a Detroit area resident(Lincoln Park), I expect this law to be mostly ignored, at least at the adult beverage establishments I frequent. I recently purchased some property in Carroll county Ohio, and that seems to be the case there.
I don’t smoke so really it doesn’t matter to me personally, but if these libtards ever got everyone to quit smoking think of all the taxes they’d lose. This is precisely the reason they’ll never outright ban tobacco.
It seems odd, though typically clueless, that she signs a law regulating one addiction at the site of a business that caters to another addiction.
