It is great to see restaurants in Franklin County take the necessary steps to open back up in the safest way possible. Now would be the perfect time for ALL restaurants, bars and public places to open back up with Smoke-Free indoor regulations as well as Smoke-Free outdoor patios where patrons sit to eat and visit.

Franklin County is a great place to live, work and visit. It will be even better if all of Franklin County followed Washington’s lead and became Smoke Free!

I can’t wait to start going out again, but I will not be going to any place that still disregards the health of their customers and employees by allowing smoking indoors where others are forced to risk their health by breathing in second-hand smoke.

We can’t wait for our favorite restaurants to open again. All of the restaurants in Washington went smoke free when Washington voted in the Smoke-Free Ordinance. Wouldn’t it be great if all restaurants in Franklin County opened with a new Smoke-Free policy when they reopen?

Don’t forget to eat out at Hagies and thank them for going smoke free in 2019! They’ve got great lunch specials that we can now enjoy while breathing clean air.
Thank you Hagie’s for caring about the health of your customers and employees!
