Restaurants Not Enforcing Nixa Smoking Ban

Nixa's Mayor says a ban on smoking in restaurants within city limits goes into effect immediately.

But some restaurants are refusing to enforce the ban until they hear from the city officially and in writing. At the Longhorn Grill in Nixa on Tuesday, patrons continued to puff away.

Meanwhile, a Nixa alderman is considering introducing an amendment to the ordinance that would allow restaurants to have smoking sections -- as long as they provide a separate area for non-smokers.

Why have a law if people are openly defying it and no one is enforcing it? I know it was just passed, but I find that if enough people supported the ban then the will of the people should be followed.

Who was it that said it is our moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws?
