Kentucky smoking ban has trial postponement

As another smoking ban comes up for enactment, it has been delayed. In Louisville, Kentucky, a proposed smoking ban in public places was delayed based on constitutional rights arguments by attorneys for bar and bingo hall owners.

The attorneys wanted to have more time to respond to a court motion and almost assuredly want to have the ban revoked or modified.

Although Louisville's smoking ban went into effect in July, perhaps the city should just forgo the ban and let everyone and anyone light up anywhere they choose -- kids included. No, wait -- that would be unhealthy.
