No statewide smoking ban. Instead, Indiana's 1993 statewide smoking law, the Clean Indoor Air Law, generally prohibits smoking in state government buildings, schools, healthcare facilites, fire and police stations, childcare and daycare facilities, healthcare provider offices, retail areas of grocery and drug stores designated as nonsmoking, dining areas of restaurants designated as nonmoking, and school buses during school hours or when transporting children.[56] In state government buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, fire and police stations, childcare and daycare facilities, and healthcare provider offices, the proprietor may designate a smoking area, but does not have to, and in either case must post warning signage as appropriate.[56] The law covers no other places, and the state is empowered to grant waivers from this law.[56] Local governments may regulate smoking more strictly than the state law.[56] Attempts in the Indiana General Assembly to ban smoking statewide have failed three times, first in April 2007 when the Indiana Senate removed a smoking ban from a health care funding bill which had been passed by the Indiana House of Representatives, again in January 2008, when a proposed statewide smoking ban introduced by State Rep. Charlie Brown died in a House committee without a vote or debate,[57] and then again in April 2009 when another proposed statewide smoking ban introduced by Rep. Brown was passed by the House by a vote of 70-26 after being amended to exempt restaurants, bars, and casinos, and then did not receive a committee hearing in the Senate.[58]

Good Post!!!
The arrogance of our political class today is truly shocking. The vast numbers of Americans who willingly give up their right to self determination to the political hacks in their State house or in Washington is even more shocking. I think that Jefferson said it well when he said
"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it"
Thomas Jefferson
