This blog is being formed to bring attention to the fact that the Southern Nevada Health District has completely stopped all enforcement activities regarding the Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act that was passed in November of 2006.
The local bars and taverns have recently announced that since the health department is no longer enforcing the ban, that they will cease any activities on their part and allow the smokers to smoke whereever and whenever they want.
The SNHD has plenty of lame excuses for why they are so ineffectual, but none of them matter. They are charged with enforcing the law and they need to be doing their job.
Post your comments, your experiences and the names of the restaurants that you frequent that are breaking the law and getting away with it. The only way to push the health department to doing their job is to bring attention to this issue and get the majority of Nevadans that voted FOR the ban to pressure their local officials as well as those in Carson City to get off their backsides and do something to uphold the law.
This is about smoking, but it's also about the rule of law. The bar owners can't decide which laws they want to obey and which they won't. This is AMERICA. Everyone is bound by the rule of law and we have to show the arrogant bar owners that they are no different than anyone else.
Good luck and happy blogging. Together we CAN make a difference.
