Bill Would Prohibit Non-smokers From Cigar-lounge Jobs

(Olympia, WA)  --  A bill being heard in Olympia would make it illegal for non-smokers to work at cigar lounges in Washington.  Under the measure by Clark County Representative Brandon Vick, applicants would have to take a blood test to prove they are tobacco users.  Vick tells KING-5 the law would be good for the state's cigar industry and for consenting adults who want to smoke cigars somewhere other than their own homes.  The American Cancer Society describes the bill as "outrageous."
