It would be rather stupid to ban smoking in a state that grows tobacco.

Good.

They did this in GA a few years back. The number of conservatives who voted for it was frightening.

I quit around 40 years ago. I don’t like to eat or work next to smokers in confined spaces unless proper scrubbers are used. I have no problem if proper scrubbers are used.

Chalk up another win against the Nanny State!!!!

As a child and teen I was in homes, cars, restaurants where people were smoking. I rode my bike in the fog of ddt, and frequently bought bags of penny candy. My mother cooked with lard. And wonder of wonders I’m still here at sixty-five

A contentious Kentucky bill that would enact a statewide ban on smoking in shared public spaces and places of employment is dead, the sponsor says

Nanny State PING!

I went to the source and what a dreadfully uninformative article. The sponsor actually said that it is dead “this session.” It will be back....

What are the current laws regarding smoking in KY? My guess is that there are already bans in place, but that this was a push by the nanny statists to elminate it everywhere....The article didn’t contain a single detail....

[CSM]

OK, I did some quick googling and it appears that smoking is banned in most cities and localities anyway. I’d say that makes this bill moot.....unless you are a Democrat that can’t stand someone enjoying themselves somewhere at sometime and not being able to quash that person!
