Overview: As an anti-smoking ordinance clearly exempted "private organizations," an appellate court erred by adding limitations to this exemption by judicial fiat. Therefore, if defendants met the ordinance's definition of "private organizations," they were exempt from the smoking ban even if they opened doors of their bingo hall to the general public.
