Charleston, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The bar owners who violated the smoking ban in Kanawha County were summoned to magistrate court Friday morning.
Health Department officers cited McNally's Pub, Nitro Moose Lodge, Black Hawk Saloon, Hot Spot Coffee Shop and Lisa's in Nitro for violating the extended smoking ban.
The extended smoking ban went into effect last July. It prohibits smoking in most public places including bars and gambling parlors.
All of the bar owners face misdemeanor charges for violating the smoking ban. They could face fines up to $1,000.
No hearing dates have been set.

Hey ABE, I said "as of today 11-15-08 tobacco is a legal product"!! I did not say "smoking in bars/restaurants is legal"! Maybe if you weren't so narrow minded and only focused on YOUR rights you might be able to to comprehend the point others on here are trying to make. But I'm sure your the type of person that believes that this world should revolve around you and only you.

sue, I reread mine. Mine makes more sense. Your "so called side effects" are scientifically proven, not mere conjecture. Smoking is not a Constitutional right, but your other examples at the end have been deemed so by the U.S. Supreme Court. I know you'd love to get your "fix" in public to the dismay of non-smokers, but the government has spoken. Maybe you could have a rally in Charleston.

To Sue: Give us a break. No-one is talking about the "smell" from the plants because this article is about SMOKING. Also, the plants are regulated by the EPA and other agencies. Now... smoking is regulated by the health department so people need to deal with it.
