But establishments will be able to direct smoking patrons to outdoor, open-sided smoking huts.

A test case in Ohio In Ohio, more than 49,000 violations have been issued, though the pace is slowing. The state has issued $1.1 million in fines,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but collected just $472,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],972 and spent $1.9 million to enforce the ban.
