2007-07-26 19:59:00 By Brittany Kaplan Medill Reports - Chicago Some came in wheelchairs. Some used white canes to find their seats.

The ban was designed to dovetail with municipal bans throughout the state - including Chicago's, which took effect in 2006 and, as of July 1, now covers even free-standing bars and restaurants with a bar area. Considering that most area bars and restaurants are popular places to light up, how much do you think the ban will affect the way you patronize local businesses? More About: Customers , Custom
