Corpus Christi (TX) Passes Smokefree Restaurant Law
Unanimous vote joins New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and others

Parts excerpted from the Houston Chronicle, 12/15/04
 
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS -   Corpus Christi has joined hundreds of U.S. cities, 
including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Boston, in passing 
smokefree restaurant legislation.  The city council unanimously approved the law 
Tuesday, and it is expected to easily pass the formality of a second reading Dec. 
21.  The law will take effect on Feb. 1.
Smoking will still be allowed at bars, defined as establishments that make 75 
percent or more of their revenues from selling alcohol.  

"This is a good day, a good step," Councilman Rex Kinnison said. "I wish we 
were going the entire way."

El Paso, Dallas, San Antonio, Arlington, and Plano are among the Texas cities 
that already have smokefree restaurant laws.  El Paso also requires bars to 
be smokefree.
