Top Ohio lawyer asks court to allow smoking in private clubs
ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio’s top lawyer is asking the state’s highest court to reconsider an effective ban on smoking in private clubs.

The Ohio Supreme Court must decide whether it will take up the question of whether VFW halls, American Legion posts and other fraternal clubs should be exempted from the statewide smoking ban passed in November 2006.

Attorney General Marc Dann seeks to reverse a December decision by the Franklin County Court of Appeals that had the effect of banning smoking at the private clubs.

Dann argues in his request submitted Thursday that the smoking ban that voters approved included an exemption for the clubs.
