Smoke ‘em if you’ve got ‘em!

A news report suggests that Lake County might be setting up a smoke shop in the Government Center’s cafeteria.  I wonder if they’ll sell some nice cigars there?  Maybe some Dunhill cigs?

Crown Point police forwarded a complaint about a smoking area in the Lake County Government Center’s cafeteria to the Lake County Commissioners that seems to defy the city’s ban on smoking in public places, reports the Northwest Indiana Times.  But, it seems that the cafeteria might fall into the definition of a smoke shop, which would be exempt.

Lake County Attorney John Dull said the county cleared the wall with Crown Point City Attorney David Nicholls.

“We haven’t had a complaint and believe it meets the city’s ordinance,” Dull said.

Nicholls, who did not draft the ordinance, said he and Dull exchanged e-mails about the topic, and the county was creating a “smoke shop.”
