If you know anyone who makes a habit out of texting while driving in Cincinnati, Ohio you might want to give them a heads up: it’s illegal now. If you know anyone who makes a habit out of texting while driving anywhere else, you might want to give them a heads up, too: it’s stupid.

I’ll spare you guys the lecture (I’m sure you guys are all wonderful people who don’t text and drive, anyway). The ban only extends to the Cincinnati city limits, though there’s massive support for a state-wide ban. If such a ban passes, it’d make Ohio the 31st state to outlaw texting while driving. Is yours one of the other 30? Check out the full list after the jump.
