Northbrook (IL) Votes Unanimously for Clean Indoor Air
Northbrook (Illinois) is the latest community in Illinois to go smokefree. The
Village Board voted unanimously Tuesday night for an ordinance that clears the
air in almost all workplaces.
"It's very comprehensive," Village President Gene Marks said of the law, which
will go into effect Jan. 1. "We're going to enjoy our clean air." Under the
ordinance, smoking will be eliminated in all restaurants, bars and offices, as
well as some outdoor locations, including school property.
Buffalo Grove, Deerfield, Evanston, Highland Park, Libertyville, Lincolnshire,
Skokie, Vernon Hills and Wilmette, Lake Forest, and Lindenhurst all have passed
similar ordinances.
