A New Bill in 2010 Threatens to Ban Smoking in Bars and Casinos in Louisiana

Louisiana for Fair Tobacco Reform is a group of individuals and businesses that came together in 2009 to prevent the local government from taking away our freedom. Last year, we were able to defeat the proposed smoking ban that threatened to ban smoking in bars and casinos in Louisiana. In 2010 the legislature is at it again with a new bill to ban smoking in bars and casinos.

We recently added a new member, Havana Dreams Cigars. With the addition of Havana Dreams Cigars as a business member, we have officially expanded the reach of Louisiana for Fair Tobacco Reform to include any business that wishes to stand up against smoking bans regardless of whether the currently proposed legislation would effect them. While cigar shops such as Havana Dreams Cigars are not being directly targeted by the current bill, if smoking is banned in bars and casinos in Louisiana, the anti-smoking political machine will push a ban on smoking in cigar shops as well. Thus, we are in the process of gathering support from businesses that will be gravely affected by this systematic denial of freedoms by our local government.
