House committee agrees to ban smoking in bars and casinos

BATON ROUGE -- Louisiana's smoking ban would be expanded to include bars and casinos under a bill that narrowly escaped a House committee today despite opposition from bar owners.

The House Health and Welfare Committee voted 8-7 to move House Bill 783 by Rep. Gary Smith to the floor for more debate. Rep. Neil Abramson, D-New Orleans, who had missed virtually the entire 75-minute debate on the matter, appeared in the committee as the vote was being taken to break a tie.

Smith, D-Norco, said the bill is meant to create a "level playing field" between restaurants, where smoking was banned in 2006, and bars, where it is still permitted. He cited studies showing that secondhand smoke has harmful health effects on workers in establishments where smoking is permitted.

Opponents of the bill said smoking should be a matter of individual choice, and that a ban would hurt small businesses.

If the bill becomes law, Louisiana would join 16 states that have already passed a complete indoor smoking ban, including gaming establishments. Indian casinos would not be covered by the bill.
