Smoking not illegal in imaginary places

Once the smoking ban goes into effect, certain types of businesses will still be exempt.

READ THE FULL ORDINANCE

-------------------------------------
G. Exceptions. The following areas shall not be subject to the smoking restrictions of this section:

1. Retail tobacco stores.
2. Any stage of any theatre when used in connection with any theatrical performance and so noticed in the program.
3. Hotel or motel rooms that are rented to guests and are designated as smoking rooms; provided that not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rooms rented to guests are designated as smoking rooms.
------------------------------------

The bizarre part of these exemptions is that there are no tobacco stores, hotels, or motels in Shorewood. So while we are banning in smoking in all of our actual businesses, you could still theoretically smoke in hypothetical future businesses and places of employment.
