Garland, Texas Bans Smoking in Restaurants & Bars
Garland, Texas has banned smoking in the city’s restaurants and most bars.
The ordinance, which passed 6-3, will exempt private clubs. Some bars are designated as private clubs as per the state’s liquor authority, which entitles them to different rules.
All businesses that serve food opened after a 2006 ordinance have been smoke-free. Yesterday’s action will mean that any of the grandfathered businesses now have to ban smoking as well.
Garland is an east Dallas suburb. It has a population around 225,000.
