Abstract Details

This study examines local tobacco-control legislation which was enacted or amended between January 1985 and August 2003 and affects restaurants in Ohio. This study follows the work of Paula Bistak who examined the same topic from 1985 through 1992 by extending the period covered from July 1992 – August 2003. Both studies examine the regulations of 19 cities and one county in Ohio and analyze the tobacco-control regulations for comprehensiveness and strength. A content analysis of the regulations and amendments has been conducted to determine the comprehensiveness and strength of the regulations as of August 2003. The scientific evidence confirming that environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is harmful to nonsmokers has increased and in recent years has been driving the argument for a smokefree environment in the workplace, specifically restaurants and bars. The Office of the Surgeon General in 2000 concluded that the most effective method for reducing or eliminating environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure is to establish smoke free environments (U.S. Public Health Service, 2000). A local tobacco control ordinance that restricts or eliminates smoking is a positive step towards a healthy, smoke-free environment (Bistak, 1995; U.S. Public Health Service, 1999). This study found that since the late 1990s there has been very little general progress in tobacco control in Ohio. The exceptions would be the cities of Bowling Green and Toledo.
