1:00 PM EDT on March 30, 2010

Recently, you may have noticed that there is a new movement to eliminate "smoking rooms" in restaurants and other public places.  It's a movement that's gaining momentum.  From NewsOK:

Legislation that would ban smoking in restaurants and most other public places has plenty of support, according to a poll commissioned by anti-smoking groups.

Poll results released Tuesday show 94 percent of Oklahoma voters believe secondhand smoke is a health hazard, with 62 percent saying it is a serious health hazard.

The poll, conducted by Bill Shapard of SoonerPoll.com, showed 71 percent of Oklahomans favor eliminating all indoor smoking in public places, with 56 percent saying they strongly favor a statewide smoke-free law.

Poll results were distributed to lawmakers in an effort to bolster support for smoke-free legislation.
