Last week we reported that the city of Casper, Wyoming saw a smoking exemption removed because a petition garnered enough signatures to overturn it.
Yesterday, the Casper City Council voted to repeal the original smoking ban, “Smoking Ban Fully Loaded” that was put in place in 2012 by a 7-2 margin. The Council also voted 6-3 to repeal the 2013 ordinance “Smoking Ban Light”.
According to a member of the City Council there were two choices; repeal the smoking bans or hold a referendum which could cost in excess of $30,000.00.
The measures have to go through two more hearings, but if they continue down the current path the prohibition on smoking in Casper will cease to exist.
