Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 2021
Extract
In D.A.B.E., Inc., v. Toledo-Lucas County Board of Health, the Supreme Court of Ohio held that the Ohio Revised Code does not grant a local board of health the power to proscribe smoking in all public places as defined by the Lucas County Regional Health District Clean Indoor Air Regulation.
On May 24, 2001, the Board of Health of the Lucas County Regional Health District adopted the regulation in question, prohibiting smoking in all public areas in Lucas County, which were defined as “every enclosed, indoor area to which members of the general public are invited or in which members of the general public are normally permitted.” In addition, the regulation prohibited smoking within twenty feet of any entrance or open window of these public areas and in all vehicles of public transportation.
