Smoke ‘Em While You Can

Yesterday, the Capitol Rotunda saw a rally by Smoke Free Kentucky, which is led by Ben Chandler. He, along with the chairs of the Health and Welfare committees spoke in favor of a bill that would make public school campuses smoke free.

At first we at ITC assumed this would pass easily. After all, can anyone say they object to efforts to prevent kids from being around tobacco (well, anyone except Paul Hornback)?

But then the Herald-Leader reported that it will include a ban on adults smoking in their vehicles while on school property. We are wondering how that will be received by the private property crowd.

Interesting how there is a move to limit the use of the legal products of tobacco and e-cigarettes while the mood to legalize marijuana seems to grow each and every day.
