Under a state law that takes effect in September, smoking will be banned in Pennsylvania in most public places, including schools, government buildings, stadiums, theaters, bowling alleys, public transportation centers and mass-transit vehicles, as well as most restaurants. However, the new law will allow only Philadelphia to go beyond statewide smoke-free protections by having a local ban covering other public places, such as all restaurants, bars, taverns and casinos. I am introducing legislation that would give Allegheny County and other local governments the same authority as Philadelphia to pass local smoking bans.

Please fill out this quick survey to let me know where you stand, and I can keep you informed about this important issue.

Do you support allowing local governments to pass smoking bans stronger than state law?
