Louisville Metro Council Votes Tonight on Smoking Ban

The biggest city in Tobacco Country (Kentucky) votes tonight on a smoking ban. It will be interesting to see the results. There seems to be a push for an all out ban there, but a lesser ban (excluding bars/restaurants) is also possible, but it is almost certain that a ban of some kind will be voted in.

One thing I've noted on this story over the past week or so is the Mayor indicating that his support is not only about health, but also portraying Louisville as a progressive city. An interesting point for those that consider themselves progressive, but are anti-smoking ban.

Comments:
Yes. I have always found controlling other people's lives to be a very progressive position.
