Today’s the day we officially butt out: Chicago’s smoking ban goes into effect for restaurants. But with all the loopholes and exceptions, we don’t blame you for being a little confused about which places will be fully smoke-free and which will carry on with smoking in lounge areas. But you’re not alone; even many restaurant owners are left scratching their heads. To help clear the air, check out these spots that have committed to go 100 percent smokeless 100 percent of the time, no ifs, ands or … well, you know the rest.
