“Dining out in North Carolina will become healthier starting Saturday, January 2, when the state’s new smokefree restaurants and bars law goes into effect.

The local health department encourages local residents to celebrate Tasty Tuesdays.  Anyone can participate in Tasty Tuesdays by visiting any local restaurant for one meal every Tuesday in January.  It’s a great way to show appreciation to local restaurants for cooperating with the new law.

To report a possible business violation of the smokefree restaurants and bars law, call the local health department, or visit www.smokefree.nc.gov, or call the Care-Line at 1-800-662-7030.
