Deerfield passes smoking ban

December 19, 2005 - Lighting up in public will be nearly impossible for smokers in one north suburban community.

Trustees made Deerfield the latest town in Illinois to snuff out smoking in public places Monday.

The ordinance bans smoking in bars and restaurants, places of employment and even in parks and on school grounds. It passed by a unanimous vote.

The smoking ban in Deerfield takes effect March 1.
