64. Voting for issue 4 is voting to let RJ Reynolds kill Ohio Children
It is an ammendment to the Ohio state constitution that, if passed, will immediately void local referendum laws in 22 Ohio cities which limit smoking in certain public places. It will also forever prevent residents of cities from voting to limit smoking in public places. Furthermore, it is not government interference in your private life when a majority of the citizens vote to disallow something. It would only be government interference if the state did not vote for it. This is an example of a corporate special interest, Big Tobacco, disingenuously attempting to affect state legislation in order to continue peddling death to Ohioans. What's more, it's part of a larger Big Tobacco campaign going on in several other states all designed to dothesame thing.
