My bad, looks like the ban is Wayne county too, not just the 6 feet thing.

[michigander]

That's okay.
Many folks don't think anything exists in Michigan outside of Wayne County. LOL!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Not in some cities you can't.

[CSM]

The problem with me is that I realize much more exist outside of the Detroit Metro area. As a WMU grad originally from a town of about 500, I am hating living in this area.....

I have looked everywhere, CSM. I can't find that information anywhere.

[CSM]

I had to clarify later, it is Wayne county only. I did attach a link to the legislation. Thanks for your assistance.

[SheLion]

The page cannot be found

King Daley decided to skip out on the illegal alien march and instead is vacationing in Israel with Maggie (Ms Petunia)of Meigs Airport destruction fame.

I have looked everywhere, CSM. I can't find that information anywhere.

You don't really think I would have asked that question without trying to find the answer myself beforehand?

"Putting a cellphone up to your ear while driving in Chicago is now illegal."

But that's just for LEGAL citizens. Illegals will be let off the hook because we must have "compassion" for them!

[subterfuge]

You are correct sir. 99% of the time I see someone meandering slowly down the highway while they weave to and fro, the driver is on a cell phone.

People go into a trance and drive like it when on the phone in a car.

Thank you.

Chicago 12/05: Restaurant smoking ban effective January 16, 2006. Smoking will be allowed in free-standing bars and taverns and within 15 feet of a restaurant bar until July 1, 2008. Establishments that install air cleaning equipment that significantly improve air quality by venting smoke will be able to apply for an exemption to the smoking ban. (But Chicago aldermen are currently attempting to eliminate ventilation loophole)

Cook County 03/06: Cook County approved a smoking ban that will impact bars, restaurants and many other indoor public places in more than 100 suburban communities. It takes effect March 15, 2007, and: impacts any Cook County town that doesn't have some kind of smoking ordinance. (Municipalities can pass less restrictive laws until 03/07)

Cigarettes are the only known product on the market today where it is legal to buy and yet we are made to feel like criminals for using it.

You forgot about guns, booze, Big Macs and SUV's.

[CSM]

Thanks for the information.

I don't know about the state, but I know for a fact Wayne County has done it. Oh...all except Detroit, which is, of course, within WC. The County Commissioners said they'd leave that up to Detroit politicos. Saw all that on Detroit news stations when it was happening -last year, i believe.
