Ohio voters passed issue Number 5, on Nov. 7, 2006, which calls for a smoking ban in public facilities and places of employment under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3794. Thus, the I-X Center has been designated as a completely non-smoking facility and is required to enforce the regulations outlined in the code.

• Guests are not permitted to smoke inside of the I-X Center
• Loading dock is considered located inside the facility
• Smoking is prohibited in areas immediately adjacent to building entrances and exits
• Violators may be subject to ejection and potential fines
• Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are also prohibited
• Giving samples of tobacco is considered the same as selling tobacco – the same rules apply

As a courtesy to our guests that smoke, the I-X Center has designated a few areas as smoking areas:

• Perimeter locations deemed as approved smoking areas are labeled as such with signage and are located a minimum of thirty-five (35’) feet from all entry / exit points
