Senate backs smoking bill with local control clash
The Texas Senate grudgingly supports a statewide smoking ban but preserves local options. The measure, sponsored by Sen. Ken Armbrister, would prohibit smoking in public places outside designated areas, with 60 percent nonsmoking space in dining venues and a six foot separation from smoking zones. Opponents warn it undermines local ordinances in cities like Austin Carrollton Plano Wichita Falls Arlington and Sulphur Springs. A final Senate vote is needed before sending the bill to the House as lawmakers pledge to fight to stop the measure.
