The House Resolution urges the Wayne County Airport Authority to stop its plans to open a cigar bar and restaurant in the Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW). This proposal would require an exemption from Michigan's smoke-free air law, which has been in place since 2010, and would reverse over 15 years of health protections for travelers and employees. A recent statewide poll indicated that 77% of Michigan voters oppose the establishment of a cigar lounge in the airport, highlighting that the majority of the population does not smoke cigars, with only a small percentage of adults engaging in this activity.

The resolution emphasizes the dangers of secondhand smoke, particularly from cigars, which can have severe health implications, including increased risks of asthma attacks, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. It argues that ventilation systems are inadequate for protecting individuals from tobacco smoke exposure, and that comprehensive smoke-free policies are essential for safeguarding the health of airport employees and travelers. The resolution concludes by calling for the Wayne County Airport Authority to reconsider its plans and transmit copies of the resolution to relevant authorities.
