Casino smoking ban rejected by House committee

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Attempts to expand the Louisiana's smoking ban have failed, The Times-Picayune reported.

Legislation has been put on hold that would have forced non smoking areas on riverboat casinos, The Times-Picayune said.

The House Bill 1323 met strong resistance from casinos and pubs who feared it may go as far eventually as banning smoking inside bars, the report noted.
