Health Dept. to give results of Indoor Air Quality Survey in Adair ON REVELATION DAY, MONDAY, June 18, 2012: Identities of the specific restaurants won't be given, but comparisons will be made of conditions in the Adair County Hospitality venues to those in smoke free cities. Progress is being made in Adair County, where, the Lake Cumberland Health Department List of Smoke Free Restaurants now lists two new smoke free establishments in Columbia, Dickey's BBQ and its next door neighbor, Taco Bell in the 900-1000 block of Jamestown Street, as Smoke Free, bringing the number of smoke free eateries to 14 in Adair. Casey County has three; Cumberland, two; Green, two; Russell County, 17; and in Taylor County - Thanks to a proactive public health ordinance passed by the Campbellsville City Council - all restaurants in Campbellsville are smoke-free!
