Poll: Iowans in favor of smoking ban
A poll released yesterday by the Iowa Tobacco Prevention Alliance said that 73 percent of Iowa voters do not want the Smokefree Air Act, implemented in 2008, to be repealed, and 63 percent want to see its restrictions expanded to cover non-tribal casinos.
The group did a statewide survey of 500 registered voters, which was conducted by Selzer and Co. with an overall margin of error of 4.4 percentage points.
The poll found that 42 percent of people are going to restaurants, bars and bowling alleys more often than they did prior to the law, and 79 percent are visiting places they used to avoid.
