Are bars and restaurants in Chicago smoke-free yet?

Answer 1

Answer 2

All of the state of Illinois is smoke free.  Though I am not a smoker, its really too bad.  Alot of business's are closing, it is hurting them.

Answer 3

They sure are & boy does it suck! I'm not even a smoker but I feel bad for everyone who has to go stand 15 ft. away outside the main entrance. At least it's Spring...so they won't freeze anymore.

Answer 4

All bars and restaurants in Chicago are smoke free since January 1st of 2008.  Some restaurants and bars gone smoke free for couple years already.  Most of the bars and restaurants have a designated smoking area about 15 feet from the building.  Once again there is no place in Chicago that offers smoking anymore.  SMOKE-FREE is good.
