proposing anti-smoking legislation.

Delegate Morgan Griffith of Salem has
filed a bill that would prohibit
restaurants from allowing smoking
unless they post signs at all public
entrances indicating that smoking is
permitted.

Fralin is blowing new life into a bill

ENG#=3 VO-NAT

VO-NAT In Connecticut, lawmakers are

considering it and the whole idea came
from a child.

The proposed bill would protect
children under the age of seven, from
second hand smoke.

Crossing into Maine, where the same
thing is happening in Bangor..... the
city recently passed an ordinance
banning smoking in cars carrying

passengers under 18.

While the proposed legislation in
