After surviving attempts to carve out special-interest exemptions, broad indoor
smoking restrictions appear headed for the governor's signature.
The state Senate's vote Thursday to ban smoking in most indoor public places in
Colorado is a huge victory. . . .
We favored the stricter House version, even though we preferred to see casinos
included in the ban, and it was good to see a majority of senators ignore the
interests that sought to kill the bill. It's an important victory for a
healthier Colorado. The bill has to return to the House for final approval, and
if signed by Gov. Bill Owens, the ban takes effect July 1. It'll be a day when
Coloradans will be able to breathe easier.
