Ohio Smoking Ban Litigation

An interesting development noted by the Cleveland Law Library Weblog:
The American Cancer Society sued to eliminate regulations which allow smoking in private clubs. The Cancer Society urges that allowing smoking in private clubs goes against voter's wishes and against the language of the Constitutional amendment the voters enacted. Opponents say that the ballot language indicated there would be an exemption for private clubs. The case is American Cancer Society v. Ohio Dept. of Health, filed 4/18/2007, Franklin County Common Pleas Case No. 07 CV 005306. The docket can be viewed at the Franklin County Case Search.
