The curtain could soon fall on smoking as part of theatrical productions in Minnesota. A state senator wants to outlaw actors from puffing away as part of plays. Democratic Sen. Barb Goodwin of Columbia Heights introduced her bill doing that on Thursday.
Minnesota's smoking law has made a noticeable difference in the health of state residents. On the law's 5-year anniversary Monday, state health commissioner Dr. Edward Ehlinger says a study from the Mayo Clinic shows a decline in heart attacks after the ban took effect.
Smoking would be banned in all foster homes in Minnesota under proposed legislation. St. Louis, Lake and Beltrami are among counties that already require foster homes to be smoke free.
Smoking will be banned on Hennepin County property starting this summer - even if you're parked in your own car. The Hennepin County Board approved the new tobacco-free policy on a 6-1 vote Tuesday
