Ask in your Hometown forum. They would have a better knowledge on how to fix or alter the law.

Ohio here.  I want to start a movement to make it legal for people to smoke indoors as long as it is a private club.

I strongly believe that if you are paying to be a member of an organization or club, then they should have the right to allow smoking in their location if they want to. Where do I begin? Petitions? Contact local rep?




The location referenced is a VFW Canteen.
Thanks
