Is This The Year For A Statewide Smoking Ban?   Date: February 8, 2010
   For more than a decade, clean air advocates in Kansas have been promoting a ban on smoking in public places, including bars and restaurants. A number of cities have already enacted such laws, but this year proponents say they're hoping lawmakers will pass a statewide smoking ban. Health Reporter Bryan Thompson has more as part of our series, "Kansas Health: A Prescription for Change."
