Kentucky Not Likely to go Smoke-Free Soon

  Two separate bills calling for a state-wide smoking ban in public spaces and places of employment were introduced in this session of the Kentucky General Assembly, but the chances are slim either will even make it to the floor for a vote. If not, proponents of a smoking ban say they will try again next year. Northern Kentucky Health DepartmentDistrict Director Dr. Lynne Saddler, and Betsy Janes, with Smoke-Free Kentucky, discuss making Kentucky smoke free.
