Smoking ordinance faces questions amid enforcement doubts
The proposed Baytown smoking ban could yield misdemeanors with up to $2000 fines for violators and escalating penalties for businesses. Opponents question signs and home coverage while supporters expect a brief adjustment and a self enforcing policy. Coalition spokesman Richard Ehlers predicts limited police cost and no drive to police residences.

Campaigns split on state smoking bans in three states
Voters in Ohio Nevada and Arizona face clean indoor air ballot initiatives funded by different interests. Ohio Issue 4 would repeal local bans for a weaker statewide law while Issue 5 would bolster local bans. Nevada Issue 4 seeks to prohibit local bans, with others allowing local provisions and strong statewide action. Prop 206 and Prop 201 in Baytown would also shape local indoor air rules with varied funding.
