From Times Wire Reports
The Dallas City Council banned smoking effective March 1 in restaurants and many other public places, saying it is the only way to protect people from secondhand smoke.
The ordinance, which was approved on a 10-3 vote, permits smoking in bars, tobacco shops and pool halls, but they must provide designated smoking and nonsmoking areas.
The ban also applies to hospitals, schools, theaters, libraries and museums.
