Smoking Ban Progresses
Smoking would be banned in bars under a measure that squeaked out of a state Senate committee Wednesday afternoon.
The Senate Health and Welfare Committee voted 4-3 to advance the measure after eliminating a smoking cigarettes ban at casinos.
State Sen. Rob Marionneaux, D-Gross Tete, asked the panel to strip casino operations out of his Senate Bill 133 —an expansion of the Louisiana Smoke Free Air Act.
“We take what we can get,” Marionneaux told the panel. “If it’s the will of the Legislature we will take bars.”
But Marionneaux did not preclude a Senate floor attempt to reinsert casinos in the smoking cigarettes ban. “Obviously it’s not over until it’s over.”
As SB133 heads to the Senate floor, bars could provide outside areas where smoking cigarettes could occur.
Marionneaux said employees and customers of bars and casinos should not be exposed to the second-hand smoke cigarettes that permeates the establishments. Second-hand smoke cigarettes attributes to 1,100 deaths in Louisiana annually, he said.
“Second-hand smoke cigarettes costs Louisiana $5.3 billion a year,” said Marionneaux, noting the health care costs and lost productivity.
Liquor and casino industry interests said the bans would financially hurt businesses and lead to a loss of state revenues.
“We are talking about adult establishments. …The people who should make these decisions are the business owners and customers,” said Chris Young, a lobbyist for liquor licensees.
Wade Duty, executive director of the Louisiana Casino Association, said the state would lose $72.4 million in gambling revenues as a result of a smoking cigarettes ban. He said that’s the equivalent of closing six casinos.
Marionneaux said the debate about smoking cigarettes bans should not be around an economic issue. “It’s a health care issue,” he said.
People who work in bars and casinos should be afforded the same protection from second-hand smoke cigarettes as is provided employees of restaurants today, Marionneaux said.
