Gov. Timothy M. Kaine signed legislation this afternoon that bans smoking in most bars and restaurants. Kaine signed the law at Croc’s 19th Street Bistro, whose owner made the restaurant smoke-free two years ago.

“We’re not here by accident,” Kaine told scores of supporters who filled the restaurant. “We’re signing this bill here at Croc’s because of the Virginia Beach restaurants’ leadership in this effort.”

Restaurants, which in Virginia means any place that serves food, must be smoke-free by Dec. 1, according to the bill. The only exceptions are private clubs and restaurants that have a walled-off smoking area that ventilates to the outside.

Kaine was scheduled to address the Newport News Economic Summit at 11 a.m. at the Marriott City Center, according to the schedule released by his office. The summit was to be attended by leaders from the public, military and private sectors.
