Ohio Smoking Ban Includes Truckers

According to the Ohio nanny-state anti-smoking law taking effect today, truckers will be prohibited from lighting up a smoke in the cabs of their big rigs. Exceptions are out-of-state truckers driving through Ohio and family-owned and operated trucks driven by family.

I'd guess enforceability of the trucker provisions of the anti-smoking law will be by caprice. Of course, the level of enforcement will be entirely dependent on the number of anti-smoking police officers that are recruited and deployed. And, as I recall, the initiating ballot measure placed no limits on the size of the tobacco gestapo.
