By Laura Knoy on Friday, March 23, 2001.

If the American Lung Association of NH
gets its way, no one will be able to smoke in any restaurant dining room in the state. Period. Restaurant owners aren't unanimous in opposing that plan, which several NH lawmakers have

of the T-Bones Restaurant Group (www.t-bones.com), which has four restaurants in southern NH,and Douglas Barry, President of the American Lung Association of NH (www.lungusa.org/newhampshire)
