Healthcare and public health
The "Healthcare and public health" section of the article claims that Virginia, in 2009, was the first Southern state to ban smoking in bars and restaurants "with some exceptions". However, Florida banned smoking in restaurants and bars "with some exceptions", in 2003. The claim is quoted from a cited article, which also provides a questionable description of the bill.
Neither Florida nor Virginia outright bans smoking in bars. The "exceptions" in Florida are bars attributing 10% or less of revenues to food sales, as described here. The "exceptions" in Virginia are bars with a separate structure, separately ventilated, dedicated to smoking. The significance of Florida's moves toward banning or limiting smoking 6 years prior to Virginia should not be downplayed or ignored by the Kaine article.
Recommended Resolution Options:
- Remove the dubious statement as it was likely mentioned in the cited article solely to sensationalize the signing of the bill.
- Clarify the "with some exceptions" portion of the statement to specify that Virginia was the first Southern State to ban smoking in all bars without a separate dedicated smoking structure.
- Specify that Virginia was the second Southern State to ban smoking in bars "with exceptions" (and perhaps mention Florida).
- In any case, change the citation to the Wikipedia article on List of Smoking Bans in the United States — Preceding unsigned comment added by Philbayer (talk • contribs) 10:27, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
