An ACT prohibiting smoking in public places and places of employment. [link to full text of HB190]
This bill would:
Dishonestly redefine smoking to include the use of electronic cigarettes and prohibit their use anywhere smoking is prohibited.
This Call To Action has two actions requested (please read carefully):
1. HB190 is currently awaiting a vote before the Democrat-controlled Kentucky House of Representatives. It is expected to pass, but CASAA is still strongly encouraging Kentucky citizens to call the Kentucky Legislature Messaging Service at 1-800-372-7181 and pass along word to your representative that you want them to offer an amendment to remove e-cigarettes from the "smoking" ban.
2. The body that is most likely to remove e-cigarettes from the ban is the Kentucky Senate Standing Committee on Health and Welfare, which is Republican-controlled.
Please see CASAA: Kentucky Call to Action! for full information and tips for what to say.
