The city of Casper, Wyoming and its smokers have been on a roller coaster ride that saw the smoking ban abolished only to be put to a city-wide vote weeks later.
Yesterday, roughly only 33% of the cities voters took to the polls to vote in favor of return to a comprehensive smoking ban. Of the 6,272 votes cast 3,468 (54%) were in favor of a full smoking ban that includes bars and restaurants where as 2,894 (46%) voted for the limited ban that would have left the decision up to the owners of said establishments.
The vote is expected to be ratified today at a special meeting to certify the results.
