Maureen McHugh, executive director of the DuPage County Health Department, said this is the first time such a conflict over the smoking law has cropped up in the county. She said her department worked extensively Wednesday to "educate" those involved in putting on the event, trying to enforce the law without killing the show. "It's good for the community to get a convention like this," she said.

Basically like saying "We're not allowing you to exercise your freedom, but we still want the revenue which the convention brings in to the area"
I wonder how fast they would change their tune if the pipe show decided to move the convention to a city which allowed smokers.
