Yuck.

City officials unanimously passed the ordinance this week and have given businesses in the city limits 4 weeks to comply. 

As usual, not everyone is happy about it. Janelle Frost of The Sun News has more information about what the ordinance entails including some special exemptions. Read it here.

I avoid places that have indoor smoking and I simply don't go to places that have heavy smoke. To quote Hal Sparks, "It has nothing to do with the health hazards of second hand smoke, it's all about the SECOND HAND STINK!" It's a long known fact that smokers have a generally diminished sense of smell and they really can't smell smoke. 

If you feel the same way, I encourage you to check out the Smoke Free Horry campaign. If you feel differently, sound off in the comments!
