New Orleans Bans Smoking In Bars, Lafayette Might Be Next

Yesterday, New Orleans passed a city ordinance banning smoking from bars and casinos. Lafayette could be next according to the The Lafayette City-Parish Council.

City-Parish Council Chairman Kenneth Boudreaux said he wants to add Lafayette to the list of cities on the smoking ban list.

From KATC -

Boudreaux said Thursday he decided over the Christmas holidays to move forward with a proposed ban, citing comments he heard at the meetings two years ago and continuing feedback since then from bar owners, employees and patrons.

Boudreaux tells The Advocate (http://bit.ly/1upekip ) he has yet to hash out the specifics of what he will propose but said he intends to bring something to the full council this year.

 

What do you think? Would you like to see Lafayette adopt the no smoking policy?
