Napierville snuffs out smoking

California snuffed out smoking in bars and restaurants eight years ago. Hinsdale, Burr Ridge, Chicago and most recently Oak Park followed with similar smoke-free ordinances.On Tuesday, the Naperville City Council took the first steps toward banning smoking in public places, including bars and restaurants. Heeding the call of a grass-roots anti-smoking group, the council unanimously agreed to take up the issue and directed city staff to draft sample ordinances for consideration in August.
