Arkansas Next to Ban Smoking in Public

from Breitbart

Gov. Mike Huckabee, a champion of healthy living, signed into law Friday a ban on smoking in most indoor public places.

The law exempts hotels and motels with fewer than 25 rooms, tobacco shops, nursing homes and home-based businesses with fewer than three employees. Also, it would not affect some bars.

Violators can be fined $100 to $500

Legislators also sent the governor a bill to ban smoking in cars with children inside, but he had yet to sign it.

The legislation would ban smoking in vehicles when there is a child present who is younger than 6 or weighs less than 60 pounds.
