Does this forbid public smoking bans? I support banning dry counties, but I also think public areas should be allowed to ban public smoking for public safety reasons.

You're free to do what you want with your body, but if you're doing it in public, you can affect others too, and you can't avoid second hand smoke, etc.

Yes, it prohibits public smoking bans   That is one of many reasons that this bill shouldn't become law.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Anyway we can redraft this to allow for public smoking bans? I favor the gist of this bill for public safety reasons, but if we also outlaw public smoking bans, we really are being counterproductive.

[President Tyrion]

I don't interpret the bill to prohibit public smoking bans.

I would certainly accept a redraft clarifying that position.

It just doesn't clarify. I support forbidding counties from banning the sale of alcohol/tobacco/whatever because people will just go elsewhere to get them and drive under the influence, but I want to make sure we still allow public places to be smoke free.

Since it's so unclear, let's add a provision in it.

Did this already pass?

Yeah, it's on your desk.

I support that provision.

I'm not sure I like the wording, but I hope it encompasses my main gist of allowing public smoking bans to continue for the sake of public health and safety.

The original version of this bill said "completely" before "prohibit."  Putting that word back in would clear up this issue and others that might arise.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

In order for the President to redraft, there would have to be a sponsor.

Would anyone object to proceeding wtih replacing the sponsor now? IF so then this bill probably is withdrawn for lacking a sponsor (no one to accept redraft, the alterantive is withdraw the bill per the constitution).

[President Tyrion]

I'll take sponsorship.

I motion to resume debate.
