Smoked out: Connecticut legislature passes law banning smoking in restaurants, bars
The college tradition of chain-smoking in diners at 3 a.m. is under threat by a bill passed in the Connecticut state Senate that may ban smoking in bars, restaurants and all workplaces with more than five employees. A statewide smoking ban hits home with students at Fairfield because of the recent ban on smoking in any building, including the residence halls, which was enacted this academic year and met with frustration by student smokers.
