Smoke Free Ohio

How has the smoking ban affected local business?
     “Families are so excited now because they can enjoy themselves in a non-smoking environment”, states  Greg Russell, owner of Tiki Lanes bowling alley in Lancaster. Greg was concerned about how the new law might impact business, but he is excited to report an increase in league participation, open bowling, and birthday parties.  He states “the change to a smoke-free environment has been very positive for us”.
